The Gathering

Back in the days when I was a Tweeter, twittering away, The Gathering became the nearest thing I ever had to a viral hit (not very near) when it got ReTwitted by a fairly well known Tweeter called George Monbiot. (He’s a well known and fairly radical environmentalist fella if you’ve not come across the name).

The song was actually inspired by a story I heard him tell, about the animals at Yellowstone Park in the USA. Apparently when wolves, an apex predator, were re-introduced there, it had the beneficial effect, over a period of time, on the good well being of not only the animals that they fed upon but also the actual physical geography of the area. The courses of rivers changed.

And everything improved.

Our environment has evolved very slowly over a long period of time, and some human actions (like chasing or hunting our competitor predators) can affect it all in a bad way.

But … it turns out … we can still do something about it.

While we can do, we probably should.

Before things become X.
