Something to ponder

As the beauty of Spring is blooming all around us, I came upon this quote, and I wanted to share it with you. It is by Drew Dellinger from "Hieroglyphic Stairway":

its 3:23 in the morning
and I'm awake
because my great great grand children
won't let me sleep
my great great grandchildren
ask me in dreams
what did you do while the planet was plundered?
what did you do when the earth was unraveling?

surely you did something
when the seasons started failing?

as the mammals, reptiles,
birds were all dying?

did you fill the streets with protest
when democracy was stolen?

what did you do
once
you
knew...?

I do have hope that we as a people are awakening. We are not separate from this dear earth, and what we do to her, we do to ourselves. Oprah recently had a show on that showed the trash/garbage that is in our oceans---it covers an area the size of two states of Texas!!

Go out into nature and sit quiety with her. Ask how you might best help to bring about balance and harmony again on this earth. We all know it has to begin with us. What more can you do to bring healing to our world?

Wrapping you round with the warmth of the sun,
Jeanne
