De uilen heersten over de wereldwijde wouden, zo’n 62 miljoen jaar geleden. Mensen waren er nog lang niet. De Oehoe (Bubo bubo L.) hij is er nog. Een wonder van wijsheid, met meer dan uitstekend dag- én nachtzicht en klauwen die werken als bankschroeven. Een sterke combinatie blijkbaar. Een ode.

The flow of life is a lesson in itself. Perceiving, analysing and learning from it is wise. It is listening to nature if you go with it. The palette of streams, sediments and resistances is seen from above. An eagle view.

This is an artistic impression of the natural rainforest being wiped off the map. The pristine Amazon canopy – and the entire ecosystem with hundreds of millions of individuals (animals, plants, fungi) – gets lost and dies. Biodiversity is brought to zero, with no change of discovery.
Human societies are like hurricanes. They destroy everything in their path.
I know we sit, watch and reflect on this loss from our chairs made from the wood of these forests. We seem to be trapped by ourselves. Or is there a way out?
