To All My Relations I offer the following perceptions formulated through my experiential observations. The author addresses changing relationships and their resulting consequences.
Consider this metaphorical analogy. While I’m not a “Pinball Wizard” I can visualize emanating from the relationship between man and machine a depiction that melds the laws of natural and “man’s” freedom of choice. Envision if you will a pinball that expresses the laws of nature and man poised to intervene who could impute its freedom to choose. As the pinball is launched from its lowest elevation it eventually reaches its highest elevation, there nature ‘s law of gravity can now be observed. If left to freely express itself uninterrupted the pinball eventually would return safely to its “homestead”, none for the worse having navigated a circuitous path, yet evolved. Alternatively, man could intervene and impute its freedom to choose by altering the trajectory of the pinball. This will result in either a delay in the inevitable resulting effects of gravity or man could perceive to be REWARDED (higher score) for intervening.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in the Pacific Northwest, tree forestation rules. However, as prominent as trees are they are not invincible. They too have a natural shelf-life. Let us not forget that their life existence is susceptible to both nature and man which include energetic forces such as fire, bark beetle, disease, and yes timber harvesting both clear-cut and selective.
Regardless of the life ending event for the tree, foundational relationships will be altered for both the observer and its inhabitants. It is an evolutionary process from which All My Relations seek the strength to adjust and consequently evolve. Just as the tree stumps sharing their lifelong wisdom to their remaining brethren through the mycelium’s network.
Arguably man and the natural world will suffer from man’s myopic viewpoint, negating its ability/willingness to embrace the BIG PICTURE long term. I take solace in knowing that the inherent nature of the Universe is to CREATE.
