I wonder what they would say to us if we could understand them. Do you think that they would be angry, or shun us for our stupidity? Would they forgive us for the destruction we have caused, chide us as one berates a child for wreaking havoc - stern yet forgiving?
Maybe they wouldn't talk to us at all - maybe they would continue going about their business as best they can, as they have before we came along and as they will once we're gone.
Someone - I think it was Buckminster Fuller - said that we are the crew of a great ship, planet earth, our great vessel carrying us through the vast seas of the universe. Our ship is grand and true, but we are fools navigating while we mutiny.
Maybe, when are all washed overboard, drunk and drowning and ruined - maybe they will swim beside us. Saying nothing, quiet as we arrogant captains of a beautiful wreck struggle against the tide - they will say nothing and guide us to shore.
