A Natural Disaster

The scenes from the recent Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan have been absolutely mind blowing and unbelievable. Each and every time we are left in awe at the power of Mother Nature, which is suprising considering how many times she has shown her prowess.

I don't know where and how man became so egotistical and all powerful, it has been going on for centuries, and why we continue to act superior to our natural surroundings, by which without, we would not survive. We continue to test her resilience and composure with dire consequences. We ourselves are Natural Disasters.

We all know the message: Nurture Nature, become one with our surroundings, Save our Planet......but are we working to make a difference, to accept that nature is a part of us. Intrinsic/True/Real/Essential.

And we all know that if we each played our part, we can make a difference. So, everyday, do something little to save our planet: recycle, switch off your lights, instead of pouring water down the drain put it in the kettle to boil (clean) or use it to water your garden (dirty). Use public transport....although, here in South Africa, that is not a really great option. Take part in Earth Hour (this Sat) and World Environment Day (June 5th).
