etherial

I guess I just wanted to say that this future you speak about is very etherial. - Howard

I suppose Harmony is an idyllic and etherial Garden of Eden, as the landscape is genuinely luscious, but it is far from boring. It began as an experiment and continues with the challenge of invention and discovery of new mysterious species of vegetation and various ways it may be utilized. And the scenery constantly changes and rearranges and astonishes within the cycle of seasons, the way a florist displays new and finer floral arrangements of enjoyment.

There is still conflict, even in a community named ‘Harmony,’ but residents are not so willing to automatically join in to take sides and defend. They have an understanding that often it is not about the subject of the argument, but rather the releasing of pent up energies. And because bystanders are not so apt to judge, the participants in the argument are not embarrassed by the outburst, anymore than a thunderstorm is humiliated by its discharge, for it is a natural and stimulating way to clear the air. When one understands the motivating factor of conflict, they are not so apt to unwittingly get sucked into a whirlwind of intensity. Maybe that is the harmony.
