Recession is hurting people. If it weren't for that I'd be rejoicing. My friend in business said a few months ago "it may ruin us but it might save the world". Fewer flights, fewer big cars and less fuel burned, less demand for bio-fuel and the forest clearance it demands, fewer miles driven, less noise, death and injury on the roads and more people willing to travel slow - by train, cycle and walking. Less tourism, less cement - one of Greece's staple industries - on her remaining green spaces. Less domestic waste, less consumption, less packaging, less material to be dumped in land fill and less fossil fuel used incinerating it. A slumping shipping industry could mean less safety and more pollution, but there's also a chance it will mean fewer oil drenched shorelines. People might buy less meat, reducing the gross volume of crops grown to feed the animals we eat and the vast areas of farm land given over to rearing livestock. All this plus the fact that environmentalism has become politically more mature and the techniques of sustainability are more widely known and of greater interest to many more people in the first world. Less consumption for consumption's sake; less energy given over to finding the credit needed to console the constantly stirred anxieties of materialism. More voluntary work, more kindness between strangers. Harry Tsoukalas in Kerkyra wrote to me in October: 'I tell my wife and to the Corfiots that at least when my son asks me in the years to come what I have done about our huge problems in this paradise I could look at him straight in the eye and answer. How many people can say the same? It's all has to do with the future generation I think, it's too late for us." Or one of the last observations of Bruce Chatwin about the smile of a 'poor' old woman in the desert, that smile he lived with ‘like a message from the Golden Age' teaching him 'to reject out of hand all arguments for the nastiness of human nature. The idea of returning to an "original simplicity" was not naïve or unscientific or out of touch with reality. Renunciation, even at this late date, can work.'

“bize destek olmayın, kendi ateşinizi yakın!”

diyerek.

buralarda sokağa çıkmak için sizdeki gücü bulamasam da dizlerimde ve kollarımda, çıkıp gelemesem de yanınıza, hep birlikte düşünmek vaktidir sanırım bizler için; ateşinizle alevleyip meşalelerimizi tüm dünyayı nasıl yakacağımızı gürül gürül.

bir zamanlar toprakalrınızdan nasıl yayıldıysa dünyaya “demokrasi” şimdi gene sizden yayılacak devrim…

kardeşiniz ve komşunuz olmanın gururunu yaşamaktayım. umarım aramızdaki deniz, ateşinizin bize ulaşmadan sönemsine sebep olmaz.

her birinizin gözlerinden öperim.

ellerinize, yüreğinize, zihnize sağlık…

Bir şey bilmiyorum – dedi – bir şeyim yok, bir şey değilim
buradaysam, dünyanın içinde, çakılmış bir büyük kanatla göğsüme,
o’dur öğrendiğim tek sözcük, söyler ağlarım-
onu tanıyorum, onunla varım, onu haykırırım rüzgâra-
uykusuz ıssız gecelerde öldürenlerin öğrettikleri
onca taşın taşlanmanın altında – yalnız bir sözcük:
Özgürlük, Özgürlük, Özgürlük.
