More From David McCullough

One can see from space how the human race has changed the earth. nearly all of the available land has been cleared of forest and is now used for agriculture or urban development. the polar icecaps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing. at night, the earth is no longer dark, but large areas are lit up. all of this is evidence that human exploitation of the planet is reaching a critical limit. but human demands and expectations are ever-increasing. we cannot continue to pollute the atmosphere, poison the ocean and exhaust the land. there isn't any more available.

We all run on two clocks. one is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. the other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

Fling yourself at life and let yourself feel what you do feel upon the very tick of the second; snatch the images of life that fly through the brain. if you are very frank with yourself and don't mind how ridiculous anything that comes to you may seem, you will have a chance of capturing the symbols of your direct reactions. thus, you will, perhaps, find yourself reaching a heightened sense of awareness completely outside the realm of mundane experience.

The answer is that we are not helpless in the face of our first impressions. they may bubble up from the unconscious - from behind a locked door inside of our brain - but just because something is outside of awareness doesn't mean it's outside of control.
