My wife and I have had the great fortune of late to continue our research in Newfoundland, my home, until August when we'll return to the scorching summers of Spain. A lot of my blogs can perhaps be perceived as being a little gloomy. I really don't mean to spread doom and gloom about our future... just to bring what I believe are coming realities to light (peak oil, climate change, resource depletion, sustainability, in short, getting back to nature and separating us from our laptops... oh, the irony! ;-)). In fact, getting back to nature, and re-learning our traditional values and ways of life is really what inspired me most about Searching for Dragons in the beginning.
What separates us humans from our simian cousins is our concept of time, past, present and future. This knowledge has given us clarvoyance and has allowed us to learn from our mistakes (sometimes!). But, really, when you think about it, the past and the future don't exist... only the present.
So, on that note, before all the snow melts... I present... Snowball Wars 2009! A little video short, set to music.
When we were recently in the company of my parents, brother and sister and family, we decided to have a little fun and take advantage of the mountains of snow making two snow forts and starting a game of capture the flag. Team Newfoundland vs. Team Nova Scotia. The first of the "Climate Wars" begins! :)
Peace as always,
Grant
