if Gaia,  let's just use this "name",  if Gaia,  the Planet,  and that includes Everything,  includes  human beings,  human beings no more no less than any other microbe,  bacteria,  the whole of the enveloping atmosphere  of the Whole is somehow

ONE SYNERGISTIC SELF REGULATING COMPLEX SYSTEM.

 

if this.   going to the life experience of the "smallest",   the least complex,  going there and noticing how there is such intense and grand modification, evolution, accomodation of need that is required,  Morphing,  just adapting…. and maybe we can imagine even

Healing.

Maybe.  The human body can be ravaged by disease,  by destruction,  and  it also can and sometimes does… HEAL.   Bacteria can be almost descimated but somehow morph and adapt….and continue

is this not possible for Gaia?   

and really,  all these wonderings come from an old woman,  somewhere in a desert,  having lived through less dangerous times,  having young generations that are loved,  having a 4th generation infant female….and old woman,  so much wanting to tether something to Hope.  

Healing.  How can Healing even touch the edge of it all?  But how can i not hope for that.  I know that healing can happen.

    Here’s another old woman telling you there’s always hope. Not only for healing but for everything. What would Gaya be without hope?.

    i am thinking about this, wondering, and really, i think
    Gaia does not know hope, but simply knows and holds Life of
    any form, knows and holds Life in whatever form it may assume. May NEED to assume.
    i realize that when i use the word Hope, i am signaling something that i hold dear, that i have come into this life to know as Life. But that may change, in response to so many factors and may become something i cannot recognize. And writing that, i think yes, maybe, but there would be the Felt Sense of what is familiar in it, what is kin. the most basic Thing of Life and Love of Life and Just Going. ?????????
