Our vulnerability - as a nation -
to the ravages that will be unleashed
when the time comes for all human nations
to pay for the world's ecological debt
is scarier than you might think.
=^.^=
I breathe in the air
commuting to work today...
a truck belches smoke!
No one sheds a tear
walking the Bacoor bridge
over dead river...
Where ever
is our peace?

The Question -
An angel asked me, "...and what do I love, O heart?" For I longed to know.
It led me to a shop and showed me a thing I desired for myself but could not yet afford. Something I knew I knew but did not really think about that much.
"I love all these things that you love, O heart, that leads you to be good", the angel said to me.
"I love all the good clothes that was made for you, I love the cell phone that you'd so wished for so much, oh and that laptop - I love that as well - for you, O heart."
"So how do you love me in return?"
The angel's question seem to echo from deep into my being for the lesson has now penetrated me indelibly right into my heart.
There was silence:
"You shall love the LORD thy God as one LORD alone".
"Make peace with the all of creation. Divide it not. Say peace to the river, to the sky, to the earth, to the animals (and the trees) of the earth and the fishes of the seas, to thy nations good will and to all thy fellow human beings, life and abundance. Do this if you love me."
