Yes, yes, yes, I listen to the animals too and I have 2 chipmunks here that chatter at me all the time.
And the bluejays sit on my balcony charis and call me to put more sunflower seeds in the feeder.
The wolves wander out of the woods every now and then, mostly they just tell me they're passing through so don't get all worked up.lol

Missouri and Kentucky got lots of flooding last nite...Maybe they'll send me out to one of those and we won't need an earthquake.

Passionflower, that's how I felt when I got that job working at the polls
It seems like a dumb little job, just sitting there, hanging out with the elderly ladies who work the election tables every year, but it was something. I have to start somewhere, too. I feel like I'm starting over, in more ways than one. I guess I have to walk before I can run.

Of course you're right Blanche,
And I knew all that but needed to be reminded.
We can only do what we can do. We can't do it all. We were never meant to do it all. We were each meant to do our part though. I often don't feel like I'm doing enough.
Maybe it's a wake-up call to get more involved and not just write about it and tell people....I feel like that guy on the nursery rhyme who goes around yelling:
"The sky is falling. the sky is falling."
"The permafrost is melting. The permafrost is melting."

Passion, there was a man on tv yesterday, and I only caught part of it, but he was donating three billion of his fortune to the cleaning up the earth cause. Dang, I wish I had listened better! Maybe he'll get others interested - let's hope. It's going to take a lot of money and work.

Passionflower, I adjusted my expectatoins of myself. I realized when I
examined my mind and conscience, that I had these high expectations and ideals, like I was going to save the world all by myself. (Literally, I had felt that at times). When I accepted Jesus, I realized that it's all right, I am not the general in this battle, just a lowly foot soldier, and that every day I get up and try to do something, just one small thing, that I am doing what I am meant to do.
Or at least I am getting closer to it. You do a lot of environmental consciousness raising here on the blog. That seems like your calling. I'm not saying don't worry, be happy, becasue I don't think that's possible, once you see the truth and the whole facts, but find some peace in that the big picutre is in His hands, not ours. That helped me to even do what small things I can. Otherwise, I get paralyzed and can't do anything.

Ray Charles....It's A Rainy Night in Georgia
Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Hi PF!
'Showdown' is a good song. I recommend it too. It's been very sunny today in the Manchester area, which has a reputation for being rainy. We need rain, if we're honest about caring about the earth. Rain is good. I think one of the best things people should do to reduce pollution is to live near their place of work. We should go back to living in cities, in apartments, so less people aspire to having mansions in the country and then drive tail to tail into the city to work (and then complain about it)! I have a flat very near to my office - 15 minutes walk away. It saves me vast amounts of money and time, as well. Partners therefore logically need to try to work in or around the same location, or it wouldn't work. Many of us then wouldn't need cars. We could walk, cycle or get the bus, and there would be less suburban sprawl. I could go on, but I'm sure there will be other times I could cover the subject. Good stuff!

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin’ for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what’s your name
Looks like we’re ridin’ on the same train
Looks as through there’ll be more pain
There’s gonna be a showdown
And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There’s gonna be a showdown
Save me, oh save me
It’s unreal, the suffering
There’s gonna be a showdown
And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Passionflower, I've always felt that same connection to the earth,
when I was 13, I was practically the only member of the Save the Environment club in my junior high. There is a lot to get depressed about, if you think about it for long. In the long run, though, whether we straighten it out or not, you and I are dead, so even though in the meantime, it's good to do what you can, and whatever you feel called to do, you're spirit and soul are going to a better place.

Our power plants (US) are still in cooling ponds on site. Spent rods. The worst I think is the other nuclear by products of what was our military defense. They are or have been shipped to different sites. Double standard...the govt can move theirs, but not the utilities... not yet.

good post P Flower
indeed the earth and its inhabitants do speak, and if we listen and if we see they will reveal to us the necessity of co existence and the harmony thats flows from it. I am witness to that all the time and it is endlessly enlightening and entertaining. Offbeats will be sending her rain my way i suspect. We're supposed to get a big storm but so far sun and clouds keep jockying for supremecy.

It's been raining here for a while..warm too. I don't remember that song..hum
I see more people aware of the earth than they were 15 years ago. Awareness takes time for some to see it is best for everyone. Wish more were aware, like I wish more would take advantage of our recycling here. If you don't take it in, they don't come and pick it up. Many recycles going into the land fills.... cans and plastics..did you know it takes over 20 years for a Pamper to completely dissolve? Sad...
