Random thought on the way home. Its 11am on Monday. I'm returning from the corner kwik-stop with a single banana, the last resident of the natural world in this corner-mart. Amongst its counterpart brake fluid, assorted themed nuts, candy and gum isle, paper plates corner, and chotchky impulse-buy counter, the banana was my only focus.As I cross the street with my new friend, I think:
Walking next to street traffic cannot be good for the heath of the human body. Inhalants and particulate matter of rubbish, rubber, asphalt, and asphyxiating chemicals–just to name a few!– soaking our skins in sickness and sin. No wonder cancer exists.
I want a family, but not here. Large cities are stifling and focused on the pursuit of largeness. Large buildings, large bank accounts, large egos. A cycle of large consumption. How about just what's necessary? Back to the land. Back to mother earth! We are sorry mother Earth!!! I am sorry Mother Earth.
If we all put our collective minds together like cells in a body, perhaps we can cleanse and be not a cancer to the earth, but an antioxidant.
With that in mind, I smash you banana! Smoothie time.
