If you want a better life or a better world, write a scenario, or evoke it in a lyric. Make a story about it. Better to tell your own tales than be the tail on someone else's dog. If life is a story, and story is a context flowing through time, then dealing with the trouble in our world story involves making new contexts. This has a strong correlation to the concept of ecology.
Ecology is itself the study of contexts.
It seeks to examine the dynamic of relationships, in as full a way as possible, within a system. Ecology is known as the science of community. It might as well be known as the stories of how different beings live with one another. Changing the context ecologically involves many different levels, redefining the pattern so our story will unfold in a healthy manner. Any number of good books on ecological lifestyles are now available.
