I hear Americans moaning and groaning on both sides of many issues. Afraid that new foreigners will come in and gobble up the benefits they believe should be reserved for real Americans, meaning those who came at some magical point between 1492 and now; and wanting to visit the ancient worlds they believe only exist outside of our country.
I have no real solutions for them, but I was thinking. Our earth was created (by or how doesn't really matter in this instance) in one piece.
I'm sure that some mountains were pushed up out of the earth before others and some oceans dried up, or filled in sooner or later, but the matter for them was here all along.
The belief that little people must live only in the secret caves of Ireland, or Scotland seems short sighted to me. If plain old humans can migrate all over, how much easier it must be for people of magic.
The magic that is supposed to only sing in the stones of Great Britain, or buzz in the pyramids of South American is probably humming right along everywhere in some form.
The fact that people only know about so much history does not mean that history did not exist. If the earth was here, the land was here. I have a difficult time believing any of it is more sacred than any other part.
Taking away the dignity and quality of anything should not be done lightly. I believe there is a price for everything we do and that is not something we should pass down to our great grandchildren and their grandchildren thoughtlessly.
I love to wrap myself up in the history and science and mythological ramifications of this planet, but my knowledge is limited. I don't know all the best ways to solve those problems we perceive, but I do know that I am responsible for my own life, for the things I take and give, use and care for, and that if someone was keeping track of it all I'd want to be known as someone who loved this world, not someone who used it simply for my own pleasure.
Everything on this planet deserves to have a dignified existence and be treated decently.
