How We Were Meant to Be!

 

Plants capture the energy from the rays of the Sun and uptake minerals from the soil.  Both then cascade down to animals, insects, and microbes where the original minerals in the life-giving resource are then given up once again to the soil for plants to pick up again.

But the Amazon is burning because we are not good stewards of the land.  The seas and oceans are becoming depleted of life because we are not good stewards of them.  The air we breathe is becoming polluted because we are not good stewards of the air.  We did not learn from nature how life on the earthworks.

How can we pretend we know everything about anything and claim we can solve this planet’s problems and seek to colonize other planets when we can’t even take care of our own? 

The truth is we were never meant to be stewards of anything but to be managed by nature.  We were meant to live as the dwindling indigenous tribes around the world live. We need to seek a simple lifestyle that pursues humble pleasures controlled by nature.  We need to return to our original Sun god for sustenance, happiness, and rebirth to prolong our days on this planet for time is not our enemy but our friend.
