And so there were bombs not just here but all over the world. And I hear of the tragedy of people dying and a great sadness wells up at the cruelty based on an idea, a thought, a belief. I keep asking how can people do this to one another? And I do not have an answer.

I look out into the world and see trees being cut for roadways or telephone lines. I see animals crowded into little corners of habitats, or killed for their organs/tusks. And I ask how can we treat another being as less important? Why are we so very cruel and sick in our behavior? And I do not have an answer.

Yet I know many many good people who care a great deal. And I wonder why does that not change the balance?

So I go to the forest and breathe the air filled with bird song and keep doing my small part. Be it signing petitions, caring for wild animals or just sharing the beauty around me. Hoping that in some way something I do will turn the tide toward Whole Earth Sanity.

Won't you join me?
