The past two weeks have been extremely disturbing. On the eve of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, I could not sleep and awoke to hear the sad news. From that point up to recently I was glued to the TV and found I couldn\’t walk away from the urgency of the trauma to the people of Japan but also to the release of radiation from the nuclear plant which is still continuing.
My heart goes out to the people of Japan. There is no clear answer to why Nature acts like it does but acts such as the one that happened in Japan lets us know that any of us can be raised from this planet in a flash. We simply don\’t know when a similar act can happen.
What I come away with is the urgency for us/the Planet to figure out other sources of energy that are not as destructive if damaged by Nature. It is time for Capitalism to hear the calls and for Corporations to start thinking outside of the box instead of relying upon the traditional modes of energy.
Here below is a call for healing from the Hopi Nation:
Finally, today while driving home, I learned that Elizabeth Taylor has died. All of us are indebted to her tenacity to question the USA government\’s reaction or lack of action in the 1980s when AIDS first began to makes its presence known. It was beautiful Taylor who spoke up and used her money and influence to address a neglected disease and those who were held in such contempt. Sadly the disease is now a global phenomenon.
Taylor was a gem, not only for her talent but more importantly because she spoke up for those who were neglected.
It is in that vain that we need to speak up for the homeless, the sick, those without health care, and the many who need help.
The USA should revisit its tradition and listen and help those who need assistance. What Nature has proven over and over is that at any time even the high and mighty might become those who are in need of assistance.
