What we are facing is the inevitable outcome of a species that has largely forgotten (except for the very rare individuals like St Francis) that ALL other-than-human life on our planet is KIN …. not resources to be exploited. Our religion for at least the last 10-12K years has been extractive cannabalism. In our unconscious devotion to greed, fueled by our unique ability to TAKE, we are blind to the reality that we are eating ourselves … we have forgotten that our actions are only wise & healthy, if made for the benefit of ALL life (including our own) … if our hands are used …. mostly …. to GIVE (which is one wisdom underlying your reminder to love). We fantasize that the “resources” around us are limitless, so our economies are tragically based on the impossibility of infinite, eternal GNP growth (drill, baby, drill)

So yes … humanity is fucked. Humanity’s violent experiment with patriarchy, has rewarded a few with the pleasures of raping Her at will for a few thousand years. Well, the Motherfuckers that we now call the oligarchs and authoritarians (and the rest of us forced to serve them in our “jobs”) have raped Her to the point of exhaustion.

The karma is certain: She who has given us everything … over and over … the giving caring Mother, will soon, necessarily manifest as Kali … and the only possible survivors will be the few, like St Francis, living from the wisdom (beautifully embodied in his prayer) of the Indigenous peoples we exterminated the last 500 years while on our march of “manifest destiny” in North America.

Yes, it is beyond human power to defeat karma, but there is a Goddess, so Life is not fucked
