"Big intellectual relief at this time. A companion item for sunsetting civilisation" In this climate crisis that masquerades as a social, political, healthcare and ecological collapse, we are gradually moving on from the phase of delusion and false hopes that we can act, to the phase of simply observing the long overdue consequences of our toxic civilisation. But as we do, more of us wake up to the realities of our systemic failures. In this short anthology of aphorisms, I attempt to redefine, sometimes in a comical, other times in a metaphorical, but definitely in a caustic way, some of ...

We should thank a pollinator at every meal. These diminutive creatures fertilize a third of the crops we eat. Yet half of the 2,000 species of pollinators are threatened. Birds, bats, insects, and many other pollinators are disappearing, putting our entire food supply in jeopardy.

I was a born non-believer. One of my earliest memories is deciding that Santa Claus did not really exist. Why? He was supposed to arrive in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. I knew that reindeer can’t fly, therefore there had to be another reason that presents would appear under the Christmas tree. The next victim was the Tooth Fairy. I witnessed my Dad tossing my older sis- ter’s lost tooth into the goose mash. I then knew that he was the one who left a small amount of money in place of the tooth. The Easter Bunny didn’t stand a chance. I had, early on, put God into the same ...
