The Fabled Lands of Milk, Peace and Honey

Haitian migrants, part of a group of over 10,000 people staying in an encampment on the US side of the border, cross the Rio Grande river to get food and water in Mexico.

Although nature's blueprint for existence

is complex her formula for survival

is simple and basic; creatures cannot

exist where sustenance is absent. In her

great wisdom attrition of species is

linked to many circumstances distinctly

averse to survival, but even the fittest

require the means by which they can

thrive and reproduce. Should a habitat

become deficient as a food source then

migratory creatures seek it elsewhere or

they perish. Among humankind the great

issues of inhumanity create areas inimical

to the survival of people who form desperate

caravans of migrants issuing toward lands

of plenty and peace. As geographies of

failed cultures drain their occupants toward

those of successful societies leaving a

vacuum there and a keening mob here the

Earth will not tilt off its axis but where once 

was peace and plenty there will then be rage 

and conflict and withering resources.
