Garbage is part of our age of garb, when the trinket became a focus rather than a sweet embellishment. It is when the wrappings and natural transport of goods became pollution. This is our station, our era, where the plastic bag became a weapon of mass ecological destruction.
"Fish for lunch? As if! That's the most polluted garbage on the planet, you might as well put shit in your mouth and chew."
Garbage manifests as the condition of the human soul, as we feel about ourselves, we feel about others and the natural world. It is vital that we reconnect to our own souls, our own sense of self worth and become the "good wolf." Only then does all the garbage, in all its various physical and emotional manifestations, end.
When we learn to value our world and one another as sacred, the age or garbage will naturally become an age of sustainability. Only when we care about ourselves in a nurturing way, when that sense of caring extends to all of humanity and creation, will we turn the human story around. We need to make the mother of all comebacks.
