6:17 AM. Good morning. I was going to make this easy and just say good morning, but I keep thinking about an old, black and white documentary I listened to on the mail route yesterday.

It's title: The Myth of The Machine. It was about the philosopher Lewis Mumford and his critique of modern civilization.

My takeaway: There is a life giving force on earth. When we forget about it we become anxious and fear the future. This fear leads to control, and round and round we go.

So I think we need to understand the mechanisms that foster life before it's too late.

I'm off to the mail trail.
