The question of place
Saw a great bumper sticker today: “There’s no place like here.”
It raises interesting questions about the the power of spacial boundaries as experience and perceptions. What do we include in the “here” that we live. This week’s science section of the (NY) Times featured an article summing up tons of research on the evolution of species, indicating that evolution is always local - and at the same time within the contexts of global themes and dynamics. How we define “here” has everything to do with the culture of choice we build and nurture.
