i wonder if there is something inherent in human nature that makes us flock towards home when we feel a sense of closure looking upon us. closure of a relationship, closure of a developmental stage, closure of yet another chapter in our lives. it's the search for compassion, for something new and yet unfamiliar, that keeps us from leaving completly. bonds, ties we can never cut loose, like a complex wreath or an invisible umbilical cord.

gaya, gaia*, where is she now? is she going to fold and unfold upon herself until she can wipe us out and then start anew? my mother, she is our mother...and she's calling upon us, crying for the damage we have inflicted. it's a sense of closure that will have us pay a price larger than ourselves.

*The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are viewed as a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. Named after the Greek earth Goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall.
