So I threw away a battery. A lithium, dime sized, dead, battery. I thought about the environmental impact and didn't know what it was. I threw it away in the regular trash anyway. Luckily I found out today it was okay.

Are you feeling my hopelessness here? If I can just throw it away, aware the potential impact and not saving it for a time to find out, what of those who are concerned but don't know what to do? Or those who don't care? I didn't live up to my own "trying to be green" standards that day.
I remember when I was a kid hearing about how in a long ago culture people would throw trash on the floor in their homes and when it became too much would simply lay a new floor on top of the trash.
Here we are. We haven't changed in all those years.

Well, I'm still not ready for a planet DNR. Just as I will not give up on a person who is fighting against all odds to live.
If you two are still reading, in a few days or a few weeks I'll post what the meditations (constant awareness, and no awareness, of each moment) have revealed.
