Eco-communities as a social vision

Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

Children of the sea by Black Sabbath, Album: Heaven and Hell, 1980


In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky, woah-oh, mmm

We sailed across the air before we learned to fly
We thought that it could never end
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run. Run!
Now it seems our world has come undone

Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Ooh they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, ooh, oh-ohh

We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door

Oh they say that it's over, yeah
And it just had to be
Yes they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, oh

In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky

Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Oh they say that it's over
Poor lost children of the sea, yeah

LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down
LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round
LOOK OUT OUT Out out! The sun is going black, black.
LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back
LOOK OUT!


Back in time for one of Sabbath's best songs which we've just reviewed it and concluded that has many points which can be interpreted as a warning for total environmental destruction caused by uncontrolled technological progress that blinds our eyes with arrogance and not see that we are still dangerous beginners. It recalls back to the lost child age, when nature exploration by kids was pure and a game.
