Obliviousness is obliterated by the horror of our predicament. Injustice, inequality, disregard for the health of our fellow beings, our foods, and our home bleeds out to the edges of our collective lives, soaking the covenant of a functioning society; trust seceded to the untrustworthy, the greedy, the banal. Gauzy days float by where I don’t recognize myself in the mirror, nor in the unmasked faces of my mouth-breathing brethren. How is it that god and nature and science cannot cohabitate? - It’s already August-humid here and I fear the mosquitoes will have made a meal of my susceptible, Type O-bride’s hide by summers’ end. But after a long gray budless spring, the island is awash in color. Carpets of dandelion laid out a yellow picnic blanket before going to seed; millions of their ethereal heads protruding like cotton golf balls perched on spindly green tees, sowing themselves through the countryside on late afternoon winds off the lake. Chamomile fills the fields, walls of wild lilac scent the air, and apple orchards ablaze in virginal white offer themselves up to the bees with the brazenness of Jane Fonda on her third-wedding night.
