Good essay - I have been saying for years that gravity is my enemy - if you fall without gravity do you get hurt? At my advanced age (80) I know that falling does great damage. I used to lead rock climbing - guess what was working against us (besides my own lack of ability)? And finally every time I stand on a scale - gravity keeps giving me bad readings.

And so I will stand with my Lakota friends who recognize the innate power that is in everything - having seen the trump administration I cannot even say that all humans are sentient!
