too little, too late?
i left work late last night…my last table, tho’ nice, took their sweet time…i walked to my car and felt the breeze on my skin…it felt cool and reminded me of nights in the mountains…camping trips made as a child…my love of nature…i watched the breeze softly move through branches of trees that surround where i work and i let myself be present to the moment…for each moment is a gift and must be honored as such…the moon brightly shone down, beautiful and peaceful…as i stood there, i thought about our Planet and what we are doing to Her…what we have done to each other over history…the destruction and evil that has run rampant through our world in the name of religion, greed, power and self proclaimed supremacy…my heart is sad because i remember the stories my mother would tell me about what the powers that be did to take the land, how they placed rules upon it, rather than respect the rules Nature already held…the idea that we own the land rather than belong to it is so ludicrous…yet, lives have been taken, genocides inflicted and cultures destroyed over this most insane belief…ah…but, none of these actions will escape the consequences that i sense are coming…they’ve already made their appearance as trees are cut down and oceans are overfished…our Planet is doing Her thing, She’s decided it’s time to clean things up, make things right…Nature is so much more powerful than we give Her credit for…we in our disrespect have disrespected our Mother and She’s not happy about it…it is time that we took ourselves off the pedestal and realized our place in this world…we do not own anything, we are a connected part of all that is…our actions do have a reaction…i just hope it’s not too little too late…
