I've always seen it that way. That we humans are "its people", like we are pets of the earth.
In some ways, we are.
We rely wholly on what it can provide; and often forget that we have such a reliance. We take food, fuel and inspiration from it, often giving little back. And yet, every spring, the world blooms with fragrance and bounty. Every summer the grass grows tall, in fall we are given a grand riot of colour - our own fireworks show. Sleepy winter provides crystalline beauty amidst silent trees.
Without going into environmental politics, I will say this: our planet and its people are in turmoil.
How can I possibly post about anything else?
It is difficult to absorb all that is going on - Japan, Libya, Bahrain; and only a few weeks ago Australia, Egypt and New Zealand. Does anyone remember Christchurch? I do.
In the spirit of living, loving, giving and growing, I offer photos I have taken or found - so that we might send thoughts,energy, and perhaps some money in support.
