An unexpected journey
Early in The Fellowship of the Ring JRR Tolkien writes “It’s a dangerous business… going out your door. You step onto the road… there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” My unexpected journey began when I wrote a book review for the journal ECOS, which inspired me to read a work of the same title written nearly twenty years earlier; which led to another, then another. As I read, I discovered that I was becoming weighed down by one concern which began to dominate my daily life; the extinction of all life on earth.
