Got caught up with the Climate Change MOOC, part of the process involved getting my head turned toward scientific reading, following graphs and numbers and equations. I’m past the first really brain busting part and the flow of the reading went much better this morning.  Another challenge to, as Hercule Poirot would say, “the leetle gray cells.”

Spent some time with an easier task, translating more of the Metamorphoses.  In these verses Neptune rides the waters, urging them on as they flood the earth, then strikes the ground with his trident and creates earthquakes.  Poseidon, earth-shaker, as Homer knew him.  This was an earlier human generated, outsider mediated, apocalypse.  Climate change is our very own.

The Great Wheel blog continues to take shape, a bit here, a bit there.  Changes, tweaks, but growing.
