The garden is a delight of activity, full of newly arrived species of birds, racoons, deer and woodland life, with the colours of trees, bushes and flowers dying as others burst into life. Every day is different as the seasons change.
Odd how Nature’s species accommodate each other and humans don’t.
Maybe English astrophysicist Hoyle*, was right about the human race being seeded from the cosmos. Perhaps we really don’t belong here?
Hoyle called Panspermia (from Ancient Greek πᾶν (pan) ‘all’ and σπέρμα (sperma) ‘seed’), the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets,[3] and planetoids, as well as by spacecraft carrying unintended contamination by microorganisms, known as directed panspermia.
The theory argues that life did not originate on Earth, but instead evolved somewhere else and seeded life as we know it. WIKIPEDIA.
So, there you are: HUMMINS, GO BACK ‘OME!!
👽!!
*Hoyle was an accomplished scholar and scientist, a prolific writer and Director of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy at Cambridge (1967–73), an institution he was instrumental in founding. He received his knighthood in 1972.
Mystical Experiences of Reality 
How glorious the garden sounds! I’m sitting in a large garden by the Thames and the birdsong is beautiful, as are the spring plants. I’d love to live somewhere remote but as I get older I recognise that proximity to shops and hospitals might prove useful. Given the shocking behaviour in the world of politics recently and the sinister dictatorship forming in the USA and elsewhere, I too wish humanity would just disappear. Thinking of things mystic I was interested to see an exhibition of Giacometti sculpture today. Apparently, he was inspired by the mystical, as was Kandinsky and other modern artists. I can see it in their art these days and appreciate it.

We’re in a wooded area of 100 feet English oaks with a salmon and steel-head trout stream running through it . On one side we have a 100 acre bird sanctuary and lake and on the other side a 90 acre forested park, just 20 minutes walk into town and the Pacific. The area hospital is 10 minutes away by car or ambulance! Some serious stuff is helicoptered to either of two cities a short flight away. The gardens of the 30 cottage condomium complex are tended by contracted gardeners throughout the seasons. We downsized here int our retirement from a larger property facing the sea when we discovered this off road jewel. (We even had a turtle lay eggs on our lawn last year).
We consider ourselves much blessed, as the saying goes. It’s very tranquil.
As ever,
Keith.
