Silent Spring
Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich von einer Reise nach Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kroatien zurückgekommen. Ich verbinde viele Erinnerungen an diese Länder. Mein Vater ist Banatdeutscher, und in meiner Kindheit waren wir jeden Sommer da. Mein Vater liebte den Balkan, konnte dort serbo-kroatisch (sagt man heute nicht mehr) sprechen.
In 10 Tagen habe ich dort eine einzige Eidechse gesehen. Früher huschten sie bei Schritt und Tritt über die Steine, überall raschelte es. Wenn man sich hinsetzen wollte, musste man immer sehr aufpassen, weil es von Ameisen wimmelte. Unter den Pinien und Zypressen schrillten die Zikaden manchmal ohrenbetäubend.
Am letzten Tag der Reise saß ich für einen Nachmittag im Schatten der Pinien auf der Insel Lokrum, vor Dubrovnik. Keine Eidechse, keine Ameisen, keine Zikade. Nur ein einsamer Käfer und die Schreie der Inselpfauen.
Die Stille war bedrückend. Geräusche sind so eng mit Orten und Erinnerungen verbunden ... diesmal war es fast wie in einem Stummfilm..
Meine kurze Recherche hat den Einbruch der Tierpopulationen an der Adria leider bestätigt.

Had no idea that at the occasion of the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in 1962, Monsanto published a speculative account of the devastation that a year without pesticides would bring to the USA.

It is one of the ironies of our time that, while concentrating on the defense of our country against enemies from without, we should be so heedless of those who would destroy it from within.

Attention learns to follow urgency — scanning, trying to stay ahead of the moment. Beneath the story of human failure in the climate crisis is another layer, maybe an opportunity: to go from attention narrowed until it loses contact with what's here, to pausing to see what's actually there. When urgency breaks, relationship shifts.

And now a VERY short documentary about marine biologist, environmentalist and writer Rachel Carson (https://youtu.be/7SDULNRX3Ok?si=NekQBmJhl65EPqYP) and her eternal influence on conservation and environmentalism. You can read Rachel Carson’s essential work of environmental writing “Silent Spring” for free here (https://archive.org/details/fp_Silent_Spring-Rachel_Carson-1962)

#RachelCarsonCAPÍTULO 2
LA OBLIGACIÓN DE RESISTIR"Ciertas rocas emitían radiaciones peligrosas; incluso dentro de la luz solar, de la que toda la vida obtiene su energía, había radiaciones de onda corta con la capacidad de lesionar. Con el tiempo (tiempo no en años, sino en milenios) la vida se ajusta, y se ha alcanzado un equilibrio. Porque el tiempo es el ingrediente esencial; pero en el mundo moderno no hay tiempo."

u-lo as fadas?
O mundo dun pequeno é fresco, novo, fermoso, está cheo
de sorpresa e entusiasmo. É unha desgraza que, na maioría de
nós, esa visión lúcida, ese instinto natural que temos polo que
é fermoso e impresionante, se debilite ou mesmo se perda antes
de chegarmos á idade adulta. Se tivese cuña coa fada que supostamente está encargada de abeizoar todas as crianzas, pediríalle
que escollese de agasallo para cada unha delas un sentido do
abraio tan indestrutible que lles durase toda a vida, como un
antídoto infalible contra o aborrecemento e o desencanto que
han vir cos anos, contra a preocupación estéril por cousas que
son artificiais, contra a alienación das orixes da nosa fortaleza. -

Working on my next print for the #PrinterSolstice2526 prompt subtraction- a scientist who brought the world’s attention to what was missing where there had been indiscriminate pesticide use, and DDT in particular. Award-winning science writer and marine biologist Rachel Carson (1907-1964) wasn’t the first to try to sound the alarm about unintended consequences, harm to wildlife, 🧵

Sometimes the world only feels motionless because we’ve stopped noticing it.
Rachel Carson reminds us to look again — to see a familiar place as if we’re seeing it for the first time.
That small shift in perspective can reveal the subtle movement already carrying us forward.#LookAgain #FreshEyes #RachelCarson #EverydayBeauty #AttentionIsTransformative #SeeingWhatsMoving

September 27, 1962
Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published.
The scientist (17 years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals.
The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science.” But she had said when the book was published: "We do not ask that all chemicals be abandoned. We ask moderation. We ask the use of other methods less harmful to our environment."
