Our Mother Gaia - Earth


This world is sick and I’m sick of this world. I don’t want to live in a society where I have to buy water.

Mother Earth, through natural disaster is vomiting out the sickness we have been pumping into her for the last decade. To build a nuclear power plant with no back up plan? Divine Mother, our earth mother forgive us for resting this toxic poison on your body. Our mother is speaking to us through her erratic earth and weather changes. We have chosen not to listen to her gentle spirit and the consequence is a society sick with diseases from its own hideous creations. Cities have turned into Frankenstein creations with no abort button. The tourist industry here on Palawan recently suffered a blow when 20 people died from a cholera outbreak in the capital city of Puerto Princessa. This event was due to the poor planning and/or caring about proper waste management. These cities have turned into cesspools of self created disease and poverty. When will we learn that when we give and work in harmony with our Earth mother, she will care and give back to us. Living in the city there is no chance of such a relationship, the only option is to be a consumer. Our goal as citizens of this earth should be to become contributors to this earth and to all life. I want to strive now to be a contributor rather than a consumer.
