My first-ever Biblical quote on this blog: “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
King James version, Timothy 6:10
Today life on Earth seems uncertain as we wobble into the Sixth Extinction.

We must admit we are part of the universe, not its masters. We are animals, not gods. Money cannot save us from our mistakes. There is no eternal script that insures human success or survival. We must have some humility if our species is to continue. Allosaurus, mastodon, ammonites, Great Auk, giant sloth. We must learn the song of the trilobites, and sing it daily as a lesson to never unlearn.
