“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

"A Very Ecological Thought"
HT @allwhitelogos. An image that includes time. Are we seeing the wood from outside time altogether, or on a sort of moving platform from which temporality spreads in certain directions, but not in a usual way? I'm going with the latter but I don't yet have the language for exactly what this is.
The strip effect also calls to mind the Lynch curtains on this blog, as if Nature itself were the theater curtain...
ecology, philosophy, culture, science
drama,
Ecology without Nature,
time
