We live in extraordinary and fascinating times, poised on the brink of something either too wonderful to imagine or too terrible to contemplate. Probably, given what we know of life, a bit of both. But the mix remains vital and possibly still within our powers of control. What worries me most is that we have an alarming tendency to tilt the balance in the wrong, the ugly way.

Speaking of wind, a book recommendation:

Heaven's Breath: A Natural History of the Wind by Lyall Watson is a wonderfully wide-ranging account of the wind as a natural and cultural phenomenon. I have an old Coronet paperback, but there's an attractive-looking new edition available from @NYRB_Imprints
