its the month of decemberrrrrr!!! which means christmas and new year and longer holidays for the kids. it also means shorter days and longer nights and coldddd mornings. of course, everyone knows its wintertime in the other countries. white christmas, they say. but lately, i've noticed (and the other beings, too!) that the weather is not in-its-usual-behavior. when it is supposed to be summer, it rains. but when its supposed to be rainy season, sun shone at its brightest. further, its not cold as-it-used-to-be. and its hotter now-than-it-used-to-be. i've read and heard the news that the icecaps are melting in the north pole. the water has risen. deserts are flooded. and supertyphoons abounds. seas upsurges, volcanoes erupts and the earth quakes from-time-to-time.
mountains erodes. and human lives wasted. the farmers are confused whether to-plant or not-to-plant. because rainy days means planting season. now, its raining all the time. their crops are destroyed and rot
since the sun is-not-seen-shining-as-it-used-to-be.
the habitat of the animals are in havoc.
in my travels, i noticed these changes in our Mother Earth. the degradation. the wanton minings, loggings, the trash that surrounds us. i can't help but say - "Mother Nature is having her revenge on the people living in the planet." the words of one of my professor that says - "your foolishness will go back to your body" is really true. whatever we are experiencing at this moment, is not the fault of nature. it is the fault of the people.
a nun, uttered these words in one of the workshops i've attended: "man by nature is selfish. when he is alive he get everything what Nature has to offer. but when he dies, he does return to earth, because he is cremated or cemented when buried. in dying man should go back to earth to nourish the soil, to sustain the health of the soil for the coming generations." so, let's go back to earth, for our sake and for our childrens sake.
