Wow! This was really cool to read. You really do a great job of keeping me interested in your ideas about the fact that the creek acomplishes so much more than we do as a society. YOu are totally right too. Ii is really mind boggling to think about in that way, but it is so true. I also liked your little excerpt about being a squirrel. As little as they do for us, they are still a part of nature and it is good that you can invision their life to help loose dualism.
