William Wordsworth: The World Is Too Much with Us (1807)

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; (1)
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, (2)
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus (3) rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton (4) blow his wreathed horn.

NY Confessions
What a month! 2009, solar eclipse, out with year of the rat, and in with the Ox. Already I have two confessions.
Firstly this has been one of the best months of my life: Professionally, Personally and Planetary. This does not mean it has been an easy one, not at all. It may have even been one of the hardest. My dearest Mutti has taken ill back in the home country, I left my beautiful family in South Australia and the disciplinary effect of our tough economic times is hurting my image as a mr nice guy. Yet somehow, somewhere my life continues to flow in harmony and the gratitude that arises brings pure joy. So I wish to thank all those who continue indulge me and my endless economic adventures.
Secondly, I have become a self help junkie. Tolle, Martha Beck, Byron Katie, Jacob and anyone who can shed light on the subject of Ego. This has affected all my thinking, and has opened me to edit my long held title of : The Organic Economy.
Far from being unique and something for me to define, “The Organic Economy“ is in fact just the reality in which we live, like it or not. Discussed ad nauseam in every possible way, by everyone. In the study of human interaction in relation to our unlimited wants and limited resources. We are all intrinsically linked, warts and all and its definition is our reality. It is today. It just is… It is as human as you are, we are and I am. Welcome to planet earth...
The only thing I can cast thought on, is My Organic Economy! This is my personal diatribe…which I may define, ..describe, ..discuss, …enact, ..change…and in which I can influence my anxiety of the my own scarcity paradigm But more than my thoughts and intention, I wish to document my actions, publicly it seems. I am a “wanna be” eco activist who subscribes to the words of Aristotle.
Is his wisdom, he wrote; “Reading makes a knowledgeable person; Writing makes a precise one” None of my thoughts or actions are new or novel….but this is my soap box. So welcome, homo economicus to www.myorganiceconomy.com.
I start with from simple hypothesis: inorganic+time=organic
