Consider Charles Foster’s wonderment:
The winter is the time of palpable edges: viable/doomed; black/white. Tree spikes stab the wind. In fact, everything in the natural world is about edges. … Yes, there is a whole, but a whole that's complete only because of the vibrant individuation; because of the edges.
… We think that we're in a fast-changing world. Well, perhaps, but humans aren't changing in the way that the Upper Palaeolithic changed us. What we think of now as change is angst and dissolution. The changes on our watch are not the multiplication and refinement of nuance or the deepening of understanding. They are acts of vandalism: the spoliation of things, places and modes of being that are ontologically superior to us.
