Spreading Awareness

"Arrogance is our doom. We divorced ourselves from nature as if we were not part of her. We are plundering her and oppressing her. We foolishly believe in our ownership and inalienable rights of and to nature as if granted to us by God. As if nature’s resources were endless.

We still blindly believe that economic power and wealth are the epitome of life and whatever collateral damage suffered by earth through our actions is justifiable.

We accumulate possessions that we don’t need. We are surrounded by disposable objects that we burn in the air, bury in the earth and throw into the sea as if nature could magically make them vanish.

We are adolescent sons offending over and over the mother who feeds us. Until nature shakes, blows, and sneezes, erasing with trembling, water and fire our creations,our sense of power and safety, reminding us of the futility of our pretensions.

Nature will always be here, with different fauna and flora . . . hopefully with different humans who learn at last how to live as part of creation!" ~Federico Uribe, artist

The Beginning but Beyond Where I Began

I decided to start this blog to make entries for my thoughts and discoveries into the wonderful things that are going on in the world that are producing positive changes that I will to be a part of. I plan to write something daily but it depends on how much time I have to venture out into the places where I find tidbits that are thought provoking for me. My intention is no matter how much time I have each day, I will come across these tidbits easily and they excite me enough to mention them in my blog.
