The Presence Of An Ailanthus Altissima or Tree Of Heaven, In The Centre Of The Narrow Garden Sandwichedbetween

The presence of an Ailanthus Altissima or tree of heaven, in the centre of the narrow garden sandwichedbetween Duncan Terrace and Colebrook Row further heightened the local context as they both stress. They later found another tree of heaven in the Oremorne Gardens and used the species as a way of linking both locations. Jo Joelson and Bruce Gilchrist also explain that the name of the tree within the project’s title could have some kind of utopian pretensions. “But as an added layer of biodiversity speak, there's irony in the title of "Spontaneous City in the Tree of Heaven".'' Functioning as an allegory of population crash and dwindling biodiversity Spontaneous City, “could also be interpreted as a metaphor for voidance,” the duo explain.

Figure caption with the NPR political article/source:

"A display of a series of skeletons showing the evolution of humans at the Peabody Museum, New Haven, Conn., circa 1935."

That, and copying Huxley’s famous figure, might be what the museum exhibit creator had in mind, but these 80 or so years later we’re all done recklessly and inaccurately insinuating that we evolved from gorillas, that evolved from chimps, that evolved from orangutans, that evolved from gibbons. 

A row of primate skeletons does not depict human evolution any more than a row of dog skeletons depicts the evolution of dogs. 

It’s images like this that perpetuate misunderstandings that contribute to the obstacles to evolution acceptance. And of all places to mislead readers about evolution, an article about evolution denial is definitely not one.

“imperfection **is** our perfection” - Charlie Secrets

the apprehension and acknowledgement of “contrast” in your experience to be the necessary signposts for navigation among the truly abundant wonder of physical reality we have manifested in provides direction without which no Gratitude can be learned. As divine consciousness seeks its expansion it is that *imperfection* and inherent choices we make that resonates most clearly of courage and our blessed Freedom.

"She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew." ~ Jerry Spinelli

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Scaling to 46 years, we’ve been here 4 hours and our Industrial Revolution began just 1 minute ago. In that time we’ve destroyed more than 50% of the world’s forests. This is NOT sustainable.

"Supposing truth is a woman—what then? Are there not grounds for the suspicion that all philosophers, insofar as they were dogmatists, have been very inexpert about women? that the gruesome seriousness, the clumsy obtrusiveness with which they have usually approached truth so far have been awkward and very improper methods for winning a woman’s heart? What is certain is that she has not allowed herself to be won:—and today every kind of dogmatism is left standing dispirited and discouraged. If it is left standing at all! "
