The Earth is ringing—it is ringing off the hook. I feel like we’re in a dream and we’re moving through molasses to answer it. We’re heading for an evolutionary knothole. If we are to get through that knothole—and if we are to bloom on the other side as a keystone species and not an ecological dominant—the way we live our lives needs to make it possible for other species to live their lives. The first thing we have to do is to quiet human cleverness. Life survives through an accurate reading of its context. It takes a deep, deep listening.
