When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant
cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all
other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment,
exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere
incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of
itself. In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long
time. Hundred years ago we didn't have cars, airplanes, computers or
vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a
hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet
lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow
and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've
been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow,
the earth will not miss us.
