On Progress and Time
Progress is the great delusion. Its pursuit has brought the biotic systems of the Earth to the brink of collapse, has fouled the rivers, has acidified the oceans, has exploded mountain tops, has made plastic backyard fresh air bubble tents a boom industry in China.
It has robbed us of an experience of the present. The present must be experienced as such: as a blossoming, an unfolding, a revealing. The present offers connection and the movement of the rhizome. It offers access to the past and the possibility of a future. Progress does not.
