Earth
October 16th, 2007
I feel good today. Part of me wants to get up, blare some music, and go dance randomly in the middle of the living room singing nonsense. I would too if hunny weren’t sleeping.
It’s a strange feeling the universe. All that energy all connected yet presented in different forms, to feel it you merely need to acknowledge it. There is beauty in the vibrations of the solar system, theologians of old called them the song of the spheres. A great wave of tiny movements and vibrations between energy and matter that coexist in all things keeping our known world together.
Stars burn distantly in the night sky. Many already burnt up before their light even reaches our eyes like the memory of a deceased love one. Going on even after, their light reaching out for us merely to delight our humanity.
We breath and our breath, CO2, becomes the breath of trees and their breath comes ours again as Oxygen. Beautiful symphony, working in harmony. Our of all the things we humans have manages to screw up we still breath into the trees and they still breath into us. Universal laws overcome all man made things in the end.
When what we call the world- civilization, law, government, and our way of life, has ended and many things lay in ruins the earth will still go on. If we set off the nukes (or get hit by an asteroid) and everyone dies either as a result of the explosion or the latter radiation the earth will still be there. She will eventually heal herself and some bit of bacteria in a pool of murky water may yet start human life over again to repeat the same mistakes.
If the earth freezes or floods from us destroying the atmosphere or global warming- yes, we will die but the earth will continue on. Either as a block of ice or consistent ocean front property she will survive and refresh herself. With no humans things may eventually even back out and alas ‘civilization’ may yet begin again in the murky pool.
No matter what we do the earth will still be here in one form or another. We are merely parasites she allows to live here. Some people say the earth can take care of it’s self. They’re right. She can, but in the end if we do nothing it will be us who die. Our race, our world. If you care nothing for yourselves than do nothing. If you care nothing for the earth fine, she doesn’t need you obviously.
If you do care for both yourself and the earth than do something. Don’t wait for the government to do it. We are all people. We all live here, and we can all die here if we don’t act. Politicians are people just like us, abet richer and more privileged. We have to take action too. We can just sit around and wait for them. Mother earth certainly won’t wait for us.
