When I come into Facebook, it always asks me, “What’s on your mind?” Today it’s this: apple.news/Aa8NHbJ9-S_mkEiAZ-opDWA - I believe that even my stalled project of exploring an ancient text, the Bible, for its wisdom on the human-nonhuman-animal relationship demonstrates that the ancients had it right.

But then, living on the planet is a collaborative project, and if we are left as the sole survivors, we may yet find ourselves to be the biggest losers. ... See MoreSee Less

The coughing is associated with heart disease and exacerbated by bad air. Now we can’t get out to enjoy our walks. I’d take a deep cleansing breath to restore equilibrium but can’t in this environment. I think we should turn the planet over to the orangutans. They’re smart, peaceful, and have a sense of humor. ... See MoreSee Less
