What bores you?
I am increasingly thinking that the post enlightenment world is needlessly cut off from myth and majesty. It is a funny feeling but I do wonder if the world is running on empty. It is a feeling that I have had for a long time.
When I worked in an open air museum I had a feeling that the trees were working overtime, that they sensed that the end was nigh and that we only had a limited time, a last hurrah!
I have had this sensation and think it is a sense of collective boredom with the world. What bores me is the same stories on television and in books, what bores me like recycled air on a plane is this pulp that we are expected to be excited by but turns out to be more of the same.
What I feel is that we need to connect with the source of the stories, the original myths and mythos of our collective civilisations. We need to reenchant the forests so that we don’t see them as an investment but something else, something far richer than money.
