Powerful. I often wonder what the world would be like today if they weren’t. It would make for an excellent “alternative history” novel (and/or TV show) much like the alternative history of “The Man in the High Castle” where the outcome of WWII was different. So many lessons about connection with nature would be retained I bet.

Beautiful autumn image, Monte.

It can seem like the worst of times but it may be the necessary path to reorder and a connection to nature as well as ourselves. The image caught my eye as the sun was lighting it up so I got down on my knees (and got back up). 😂
