A Path in the Woods

[H2O Man]

8. Thanks, Friend!

I will see if I can locate copies of a couple of them. (Don't hesitate to remind me, as I still experience a lot of forgetfulness. It can be a bit frustrating!)

Your message reminds me of something I have been thinking about today, since posting my essay. I like to think about the origin of words, something that both Rubin and Paul did, too. It's spring here -- despite this morning's snow -- and everything is coming back to life. That's a powerful force, a beautiful dynamic. The original Greek word for the life force rejuvenating was "daimon." Yet, in the some religions from the Middle East, that word became "demon," to signify something "evil." How curious, that fall from grace. Humanity must get more fully in touch with the Natural World ....including the environment, of which we are part.

As evidenced here, besides being forgetful, I too often babble!
