I moved the ammonite fossil from the wall ledge to the ground, where it was safer from nudgings by cats,
Evolution or Devolution?
Their footsteps form a timepiece pressed into the rock:
portraits of a planet learning how to walk.
Bent on following a plan well out of their control,
instincts prodding them to race to fulfill their role.
Each tiny part of nature bound to do its part,
facing threats against the evolution of the heart.
What part of mankind’s journey waits around the bend?
Will our progress finally bring about our end?
For Sunday Whirl Wordle 632 the prompt words are: control rock portrait timepiece bent plan threats instinct race part footsteps planet

I think a lot of people are thinking about it. We just dont’ seem to be doing enough about it. Myself included.

Yes I try, My house was designed and built for conservation. rainwater, super insulation, properly placed with proper windows etc. But then I go to the store and come home with ten plastic bags full of groceries in plastic containers, which I pay a garbage man in a smelly diesel truck to haul off to the dump where it is all buried. You have a better chance than I do of going natural but here it is difficult. The best I can do is rant about it. and I do refuse things that are not fresh.
