This video came across my Facebook newsfeed a week or so ago. I couldn’t let it go without passing it on to you.
It’s only two minutes of your day. The views are majestic and the message is timeless.
By now you have figured out that I care about Earth as Earth cares about me. And it does care. It gives me water to drink, food to eat and forests to hike and run through. It gives me the company of animals, though some of them would rather eat me than keep me company. Nature provides. It gives us all we need to survive. It’s been preparing for us for a long time. It’s been here for four and half billion years – 22,500 times longer than us. I’m guessing it’ll be here that much longer after us as well.
And I wonder what kind of world are we leaving our children, our children’s children?
We are the ancestors of the future.
I’m all for looking for other planets. I’m all for looking for life beyond our own Earth. I’m all for colonizing other planets should we find one suitable and develop the technology needed to get there. I’m NOT for destroying the only planet habitable to us. I’m NOT for all the garbage and litter and waste and pollution.
Like the video said, Mother Earth has starved creatures greater than us. I have no doubt she’ll do just that should we stay on the wasteful path we’re currently on.
Rant over, thank for watching and listening 🙂
Beautiful, powerful video. Thank you for sharing it!

It is, Vaishali. It sure is. Unfortunately, I think it will take more than messages to change the world.

Lovely video. Reminds me of an old Cree saying:
Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisoned
Only after the last fish has been caught
Only then you will find that money cannot be eaten

I love that one, too. I love the message that Mother Nature has starved creature bigger than us. We are no match for her. Once our resources are gone, we will be too. Then Mother Nature will simply start over. It’s not like she doesn’t have the time.

Oh she has plenty of time! Lots of it and she takes her time to unleash the wrath.
The forest fires in Canada – was that nature or man-made?

They’re saying it’s not natural (aka lightning strike) that it’s human-made. But that term is still open to interpretation. Tjey don’t know exactly how it started yet.

I wanted to write more. The post felt too short. But the video pretty much overshadows anything I could write anyway. Thanks for stopping by!

Earth was here before us and it’ll be here after us. We can only save ourselves (the human race). Kind of puts things in a new perspective.

Thank you for your kind words and thanks for stopping by! Nature is something dear to me. It’s dear to everyone, I think, but they won’t realize how dear it is until it’s gone…
