Man goes about polluting, destroying creating havoc and loss in the balance of the earth. Damage the rain forest and then wonder why there is drought. Pollute the water and when it is gone, so are you! Pollute the air which you need to breathe to stay alive. And you call yourself “Intelligent Life”? The bees are dying, how will the crops be pollinated that you need to eat, again to stay alive? In your present mentality “anything goes”. Well so will you! Fish till there are none to breed. Give damaging hormones to chickens and beef which are passed onto you humans. At what cost to your health you don’t even know.

If only this continent hadn’t been invaded by the Europeans, there would have at least been one portion of the planet who honored the animals, the trees, the mountains, the Mother Earth. They held ritual for everything that they received from the benefit of Mother. And they held ritual before they feasted on an animal, They honored the animal and thanked it for giving it’s life so that they may be sustained. It might, if it had stayed, that one portion of the planet, if it had stayed that way, might have been able to hold enough balance to prevent the shifting and the destruction of the waterways, the airways, the animals themselves, the people, the water and now the food. That mentality was not in Europe nor in Africa. That mentality was in this continent and in South America. So you had a balance there. But now there is no balance. The Indians no longer honor the Mother the way they use to. They do in spurts but not the way they use to.

And I was called MOTHER EARTH for a reason. The nurturer, the main energy came from Mother Earth and the Sun. Now everything is being poisoned through man’s greed, through man’s stupidity and sophistication—so called. He goes to the market and buys his food without any of them saying grace any more even before they eat the food or partake of the food. They use to at least, before a meal the family would get together and hold hands and say grace and thank you for this food. Even that is passé now, it’s catch food where you can on the run and eat it. There is no ceremony except at Thanksgiving or perhaps Christmas.

It makes me sad especially to see the way the animals are treated when they are raised specifically for food. And they think they have no consciousness. Of course they do. So there have been years and years of warnings. Decades of warnings and yet man doesn’t listen, he just goes about his business as usual. But you can see there is drought in one place and flooding in another. Nothing is balanced any more. The lakes, some of them are drying up. The rivers…Where will the water come from? So I think I have said enough. What was once a verdant beautiful planet is now a grave yard.
