The earth is cracking up...

, originally uploaded by naturewalker.

It is time to weep for the Earth. Not just for this fabulous planet but also for ourselves.

It is time to open our eyes and see the cracks that are so obvious! It is time to open our eyes and let them weep- may be that is what will bring the water that this mother needs to become the Blue Dot - once again.

The brown is stark. And it is frighteningly alone and final. But Nature finds a way to let the life go on. She finds that little bit of moisture which will support a twig of grass and that twig holds on to life and to life force. It generates a dash of green in the brown. It generates life amid lack. It reigns victorious because Life is inevitable.

And as if by design- more twigs come up... and bring more and more life to a barren landscape. The barren no longer looks hopelessly forlorn- the barren looks up at the sky with hope. It begs for the first few drops of water- the tears from your eyes and mine- and then- it plays.
The barren gives up being so.
The barren gives in to being not so.
And life triumphs yet again.

One drop of water.
One twig of grass.
One molecule of life.
One moment in eternity...
