My question is what voices will dominate the coming years: ones showing some humility found in the quiet of nature? At the other extreme, how often will thing implode, will the center not hold?

I'm embedding two videos that show two possibilities. Of course, our path will be somewhere in between. But enjoy as we move into the thick of our hyper-partisan election year. I'm going to try and stay hopeful, turning off the MSM completely and incorporaTING SOME soundscapes I took in Big Sur as a counter-point, but we shall see.....
