Earth

Our planet is very sick.  We’ve known this for a long time now, but it’s becoming harder and harder to ignore.  We have been taking much more than our earth can give.  It has been trying to adapt.  Trying to readjust.   But we just keep upping our demands.  Maybe Covid-19 is its way of forcing us to stop and pay attention?  Its way of giving itself the time that it needs to heal?  Earth’s wisdom is infinitely greater than human’s intellect.  We’ve become so self-centered and materialistic that we have lost sight of the fact that getting what we think we are owed is destroying our home and the life that is sustained by it.   Is our ego-based way of thinking going to eventually be our demise?  Our relationship with earth is more than a connection.  We are one with it.  Ashes to ashes.  Dust to dust.  Earth is us.  We are earth.  It’s impossible for humans to be healthy living on a sick planet.  When are we going to realize this?  How long will it take for Covid-19 to go away?  As long as it takes for our planet to heal?  As long as it takes for us to change our ways?  Standing at this crossroad.  Our planet has spoken.  Are we going to wake up?  Or keep putting profit above people and our planet?  There is no question whatsoever that this pandemic is going to forever change us.  But will it be for better or worse?
