Numerous New Species found in Papau

Check out the BBC for a beautiful story about New Species being found on the Island of Papau.

I can't particularly say why reading this made me feel so good. Refreshed, revitalised, peaceful, at one. It was an almost spiritual experience reading about new discoveries and new previously undiscovered creation in the midst of all the news about us destroying and burning the world.

And the comment that 'this is the closest to the garden of Eden that we're ever likely to find in this world' from one of the team members is also telling of the spiritual experience of finding beauty, survival, intrigue and suprise amoungst the usual horror stories of the world that we are trashing. The lack of fear between man and beast speaks something of the Shalom and new world order that we look forward to for me, of returning to innocence, of connectedness. What a pure, whole, rejuvinating, unpolluted exciting experience to have the privelidge of witnessing and discovering another block of virgin unspoilt creation that we've not trashed. May it stay that way!
