After reading this and your mention of the debating tactics of those who believe there is no global warming, I realized there could be another tactic when it comes to the extinction of creatures not yet known to humans. If we never knew they were there, then how would we miss them when they’re gone? We’d miss them in many important ways I would think. We’d miss them when our fields become toxic and our water undrinkable, when diseases never known become epidemics, when flowers that were once common no longer bloom, or when the air becomes harder and harder to breathe. Perhaps then there will be some realization that life exists far beyond our ability to see it and that some of the things we attribute to ‘magic’ and ‘miracles’ just may be one of those ‘unseen micro-organisms’ we never knew was there in the first place, hard at work. I hope with everything within, we never know that day.

And on a lighter note…. I sat under the stars at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville Oregon in August, 2004 singing along with Mr. Byrne when he performed this wonderful song.

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it
