Passage:
Ecosphere thinking
Although in theory every educated
person knows that the
world is more
than people, resources, and a vague environment
to be protected, the very fact of
seeing it as one spherical
air-water-
land system gives it a new and different reality.
From
a
vantage
point
outside
our
home,
a
revealing
perspective
has
shown
us
the
planet
for
what
it
really
is;
a
ball
of
living
star dust, a four-
and-one-billion year old miracle.
Perhaps
the
strange
human
desire
to
fly
away
from
the
planet,
to “slip the surly
bonds of earth,” is a necessary impulse
for discovering who we are. Perhaps we
can never be satisfied
on
earth
until
we
have
traveled
away
in
space
and
come
back
home,
back to our roots, to
where we belong.
To the question, “what is the world?”
the answers still
tend
to
be
ambiguous.
In
the
traditional
sense,
the
earth
remains the supportive environment for
humanity; merely the
means
for
enhancement
of
the
one
animal
“made
in
God’
s
image.”
To physical science that has denatured
reality the world is a
material place
of molecules and atoms, of solids, liquids and
gases,
of
atmosphere,
hydrosphere,
lithosphere
and
biosphere.
