Most people will be aware of the Gaia paradigm. This was a theory proposed by James Lovelock in the 1960’s. The theory proposed that all living organisms and non-living systems on Earth are connected and self-regulating. It has been modified since, but remains an important plank for both the environmental movement and many scientific disciplines & was the inspiration for my latest piece.
If we affect one part of the system we have an effect on the whole.

CONNECTIONS
Mist and sea converge.
Coalescing; their fusion
swash upon the shore.
We’ve crossed the sand you and I,
leaving footprints in the sky.
