They were part of our lives, they still are. And they live amongst us, embracing the divine. And they live between the world of humans and the ethereal world of gods. One of them is "Ersi", the deity of the morning frozen dew. She has been living in mountainous Greece for thousands of years, and her presence there reminds us of the beauty of nature and the prominence of life. Every morning "Ersi" dresses the lake in a misty veil. Every morning the deity of the frozen dew reminds us of the great technological advances that improved and changed life as we know it. We created dams, lakes, and rivers. We contained and transformed nature but at a great cost to the environment, we live on. Human civilization has been evolving for millennia but the importance of balance, humility, and composure is greater than ever before. With the world population growing exponentially, we require more water, more land, more minerals, more bio mas than ever before. The ecological footprint of the human population exceeds the biocapacity of the environment. We need more biological resources than can be renewed. We currently consume 70% more natural resources than the Earth produces in a year. At the present rate, we need 1.6 planets to sustain us and we are on track to require the resources of 2 planets by 2050. And yet the 7.7 billion people living on this earth represent 0.01 percent of all living things. Will we ever listen to the ancient legends, the myths, and the deities that deliver a sense of symbiosis, and ethos? Will we learn from our ancestors and co-exist in harmony with nature? Will we reach an epiphany? Written by GEORGIOS DIMITROPOULOS See less
