Sometimes there is so much information about a topic that it can become overwhelming. If you are Al Gore or Leonardo DiCaprio you will retain all of the data in your head about the damages that are being done to the earth around the world. However, I think a lot of people can get discouraged and hopeless when they hear these statistics. I think what is more important is that we actually listen to our guts. We know that the earth is sick. I think of all of the tsunamis, earthquakes and bizarre weather as the Earth's fevers and chills that we humans get when our bodies are sick. There is a lovely children's book called 'Old Turtle' that describes the beauty of the earth, it's decline and what power people have when they come together in love to heal it. I think we can do this. If each of us as individuals tunes in to the reality that the earth provides us with food, water and oxygen then we will realize that contributing to it's health is saving our OWN lives. Happy Earth Day
