Wet nights, warm days are what we want in the summer       noosphere. Man's mind one with weather. If this is true, life is good, or will be good. Can I be encouraged that my sons will find mystery on the       planet as I did? How sweet the slow spring! May already and the canopy       not out yet. Woods quiet all winter. Now I can't distinguish the many bird songs from where I sit. Red maple flowers and first sugar maple leaves are, to me,       the Christ child that's been coming. The ancient poems and the new make the 1/10 inch of annual       topsoil from carbon dioxide loading. As a humanist I want everyone pursuing happiness; as a       naturalist I sometimes pray for man's destruction. As a rationalist I admit I lack data. O to play slow and sure, even when the tune is fast. Inside an       aquifer of love for the audience. Not to fear or even necessarily obey the changing wind's direction. Being here I breathe and make the atmosphere as       seen from outer space. The song of the world will often take you far from yourself.       There will be no self. How will you know yourself? By knowing thyme and dandelion, the blue jay from the hawk, the heron in its swamp, black cherries and the one pear at the       junction of the trails. They are yourself.

The Summer Noosphere
