Life and loss..Today I awoke after a frightening night. Tornadoes ripped through Alabama and Georgia. We readied ourselves putting things in the basement. A radio, some candles a couple lawn chairs that we could sleep in there. We watched the news and waited. It passed us by.
Others were not so lucky. I watched the people searching for their loved ones. Looking at the ruins of thier homes. I have cried today hard for them and for us as a people. We can not play fast and lose with the earth and not expect the climate to change. The melting of the polar ice caps the changes in the weather are part of our ignoring nature. Like small children destroying and throwing away a toy we play with this earth like it's nothing. Oils spills, Factories pumping out carbons we reap what we sow.
I went out today and looked at my flowers and said a prayer. Please Lord let us learn and change.
Please give to your local red cross and go out and plant some flowers in memory of the storms of 2011.
