“Awful, corrupt, political

machinations”

spoke the 81-year-old

philosopher

of ecology and Buddhist devotee,

remarking on

today

then going on to say,

“Young people look, shrug it off

and go on…,”

not just to play,

but play they

do and live without

dismay.

Thank God for naivety

and

innocence we elders do recall

and so necessary.

May

we hope that

the dark horse of

despair, which will

eventually charge

a future day,

will not stay

but be on its

death-filled

destructive

way. Shew,

horse,

shew.
