Spreading sunshine

I haven't posted for quite awhile. Ever elusive, my Motivation informed me the "it needed more space for awhile", packed it's bags, hopped a plane to El Somewhere-else and left me to contemplate how I had fallen short in my role as a member of the human race; to intuit how I might improve my performance as a human soul in order to regain membership-in-good-standing admission to the rabble level of humanity.
The Gulf, while admittedly not completely destroyed, is not ok, and the impact of a pollution event of such great magnitude will be felt for the foreseeable future. Much diligence will be required to maintain the appearance of a pristine, clean, safe, unspoiled natural ecosystem, the image required for tourism brochures and advertisements - book your trip to the Gulf Coast today! - no really - please do, because there are many working people down here who aren't ever gonna see a dime of compensation from BP for the destruction of stability, the vaporization of any expectation of a baseline normal world (as in cradle of mankind), and the loss of faith that lives lived with honor, dignity, determination, hard work, and quiet endurance, fueled by dreams and plans for a happy future, can and do lead to the fulfillment of goals which enhance and enrich human lives. Just a reminder that environmental constants which bestow a reasonably predictable, stable, orderly, foundation of consistency, and make possible the gifts of hope, dreams for the future, belief in a purpose in life, also provide the basic universal framework through which to constructively channel the uncontrollably wild, chaotic, life force flowing through every human soul.
Our world's resilience and enduring life sustaining systems are disturbingly fragile and can be disrupted, even destroyed, not just by nuclear annihilation, world wars, or extreme natural disasters, but by the reckless, heedless, greedy plans/actions of powerful "human beings" driven by insatiable lust for more wealth and power and whose purposes are carried out and put into action by their work force of servant lackeys.
