Here's a question that has begun to consume me at times:
Over the last few thousand years or so, when has the Goddess/Mother Nature/Gaia ever been consulted about any human endeavor? As in, "Let's Ask Her to see what She thinks of these plans". When we made plans to wage war, or extract water or gas or minerals or oil, or expand cities, or treat people inequitably, or create oceans of consumer goods, has there ever been a representative of the Great Mother on staff to provide feedback? Literally, who has ever asked Her?
I'd like to think that a century from now, that will be what astonishes humans -- the fact that, by and large, until now, we didn't Ask Her. And the fact that, by and large, we didn't see that as a problem.
