When I came to the chapter %u201cWritten on the Wind.%u201d I was stopped dead in my tracks! The poem had a deep resonance with me. The poem finishes with a hallucinogenic passage about helplessness.The accompanying image reinforces the idea. A ship runs aground on the rocks under a surrealistic sky reflected in the water for eternity as a stone wall crumbles with the passage of time. That image says so much to me. No wonder it is my favorite.The rest of the images all refer back to the poem in their own varied way: the passage of time, empty cabinets like loss of self to Alzheimer%u2019s, or the loss of culture and cultural memory. Tragic and inevitable. The fact that the images remain impartial is a testament to their artistry.The cactus with vapor trails echoing in the background just knocks me out. I could have never imagined those two together, yet they speak to the Environmental Movement better than any image of a smokestack alone.
