Martin Heidegger, a controversial figure in the history of Philosophy spoke of the darkening of the Earth as it became consumed by impersonal technology, becoming a man-made World. When the Technology dictates our very lives and consumes our every communication, we will drown in it, and the Earth will be forgotten, hidden.
The Earth is Drowning.
With the advent of a New Year, 2012, there are doomsday mythologies including that the planet will be consumed by a flood, or some other major catastrophe.
There is a more immediate dilemma. The Earth is desiccated, starved for spiritual rain. Mass protests and political sanctions will not bring relief.
Kieslowski's movie, Blue, includes this adaptation of I Corinthians 13 as the closing piece.
May it be a Message for 2012.
