Steward?

From a 1993 issue of Tricycle magazine, Christopher Titmuss makes a strong claim for putting to rest the myth of stewardship:

"We do not belong to a role, or a role belong to us, and it is arrogant to claim this [ stewardship]. .. The idea of stewardship is a patronizing view of life, a kindly form of global colonialism. The dissolution of any kind of special identity is vital."

Green is empty of form, of feeling, of thought, volition etc. Or so Titmuss' tune goes. great article...
