I have written much about the drastic changes we need to make if we are to survive our self- made crisis. There is no need to point these things out to the water protectors at Standing Rock. I only wonder if the rest of us really understand this.
Today there was a pause in construction announced. This is a victory for all people on the planet. It has significance in many ways. Surely the protection of the water is the obvious one.

No essay here, just reading and catching up with what was written the last couple of days. In this essay by Chris Hedges: Waiting for the Barbarians
Chris managed to post altogether 48 questions.

Is it mean to ask for 48 answers?

His last paragragh is what he sees coming for people like many in this environment.

Okay, we're pissed, tired, angry and just plain worn out.

And to be completely honest, I am scared shitless. The only time in my life I have been this scared is 1961, Kennedy and Khrushchev. I have the same feeling in my gut, and have had it ever since the announcement.

One may hope..
