Thank you for visiting and commenting, @agmoore. The trick is not to wait for long but for worthy readers, like you. And be clear that we write draft stories until the publication proves otherwise. I see, by the passion I feel in what you write, that you understand what I say.
I don't believe that nature is so indestructible either, but I do believe in the desire that it is not so. The truth is that I'm terrified to see what we do to the natural world, even if we don't need it to survive. I'm not an ecological romantic, I bet on rationality, but we have to see that human beings can be barbarians.
Always welcome!
