Humanity
COP 21; The Elephant in the Room
What is human effort used for – expended on? In our bid to become carbon neutral, to reduce the damage we're doing to the planet and to resolve the inequalities that render sectors of human society fatally poor (if that is actually a serious society-wide desire...) one thing is becoming clearer with every political statement and international attempt at agreement; our consumerism is the chief cause of the planet's ills.

The Underground Messiah
THE UNDERGROUND MESSIAH By Jerec Velez In a large, dark cave, a green dragon crawls by. Scales dark emerald green, ancient as the Earth. It jumps and spreads its enormous bat-like wings. It glides inside the majestic cave, hitting and breaking stalactites that have been growing ever so slowly for thousands of years. It is now awake from its ancient slumber. The dragon burst out of its cave high in the cliffs above the clouds and flies steeply downward and rises back up; it stops and freezes in mid air. Jess Walker puts down the pencil next to the drawing of the green dragon. He stands back from the table and walks into the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee. Stretching his head from side to side Jess walks towards the front door. His left hand rises slowly to push open the front door.

Back in the fall of 2014, my then 3-year-old daughter ardently desired to blow off steam after preschool by running into the woods behind our apartment complex.
