i finished my book today, waiting in union station: the world without us, by alan weisman. i recommend it. weisman takes an admirably innovative, playful, and rigorous approach to sweeping and often terrifying questions. and he writes excellently.
reading it has kept me up nights.
it has consolidated my desire to devote myself to conservation efforts, in some capacity or other, once i graduate from reed.
i like to be alive, i do! i like to be conscious!
i want to take pride in my humanity, dammit. in being a breathing thinking dreaming straining organism. i want to pour myself out into this perplexing, agonizing, rhapsodic endeavor--remorselessly, resourcefully, without reserve.
