THE MAGICAL DANCE OF EVOLUTION

June 11, 2004

I suppose, that we as humans, at some point, have to appreciate, accept, and understand, more, that we cannot control or dominate the natural order of things.
I suppose as well though, that we do, in some sense, have a collective "influence" upon it but even with our super computers, space stations, internet, particle accelerators, nao and bio technology and nuclear energies, we are and most likely will always be, to some degree, ever part of the natural order and never exactly equal to or above it.
Now this may seem dismaying and disquieting, that we are not the definitive masters of our destiny, yet the more we come to understand the nature of the natural order, the more we can begin to see how wonderously complex and miraculous it truly is.
To ever think, that we, even at our very best, could ever fathom its total depth, length, breath and time, is, well most presumptuous to say that least, yet even in its majestic and unfathomable scope and diversity we do still, at times, hold a cherished and dear place and harmony within its scheme.
Take heart too, for it would seem that this world, this galaxy, this creation is evolving and that perhaps such is the new frontier of which we now face. To evolve in harmony and grace with this evolving natural order. To fit in, as it were, with this dance of evolution as it progresses on its way, in time and its continuum of existence. It is truly both frightening and exciting simultaneously
Now, there are new steps to learn, new songs to sing, new feeling to master,
new dreams to construct and new love to experience.
Can we muster the courage and resolve needed to master the challenges of this dance. This wonderous and tricky dance of evolution. Not our evolution per sae but the evolution of this, the natural order.
Is the Natural order changing then? and is change the same as evolution?
Is change the same as evolution? an interesting question and one which we will
have to study and give more thought too in the days and years to come as we find our new footing and rhythm in this, the Magical Dance of Evolution.

I have a dog named Jacques. Like most dogs he teaches me a great deal...even though the teachings can be quite boring. For instance, it often appears this animal "thinks" of nothing but food. I suppose this drive to eat is among the most basic elements of life, but he really can become annoying about this.

Obviously humans have this same drive, but how much has it evolved as the art of food gathering has progressed? My dog has no rational assurance there will be a next meal for him, no matter how he devotes himself to my every whim. We used to live like that too, evolution tells us. But now with the grocery store and the fridge, why are North Americans seemingly unable to get some control on appetite? If our inventive technological skills don't balance with our basic instincts, are we in danger of extinction?

PS If you wrote this entry in 2004 Swanny, do we think we have been doing any better 3 years later?

well no but I think it was a visionary statement that applies to now and maybe only to me. I think then I must have wrote it for myself and or others who are perhaps somewhat discouraged by the world of now though. So its like the past coming not to haunt me but to encourage me. I guess the me of the past maybe or maybe not "knew" I might need this. Funny thing is I wrote and published it here in the Confere in 2004 and found it through a google search of "destiny". I don't even recall writing it very well. Strange beast this internet.
