COMPASSION

 We live in a great World where almost anything and everything is possible, even the idea of living on another Planet, however I love this wonderful place we call Earth!

There is so much to be found; the seasons offer us a magnificent display of natural beauty in winter / spring/ summer/ autumn, delighting us with such diversity of colour and places to visit whenever we can.

Of course, there are so many imperfections to be found, if one is occupied with faultfinding;  so many disasters take place; earthquakes / tsunamies / volcanoes erupting etc. Some programs on uTube delight in showing the horrors of the Earth's faults which could well cause us to wonder...  Why?

Perhaps, more importantly we need to address the lack of caring which seems to be present today.  We want to be loving and caring people, yet are we? Has something happened to us, causing us to care less?

These are questions I often ask myself lately. What kind of a person am I? Do I really have compassion for those who are afflicted by disasters?  

Perhaps, the Earth is reflecting the lack of compassion in our World, and this could well be causing the many happenings that we feel should not be, yet are. 

So, is it my fault that this beautiful World of ours is weeping and displaying such stressful examples of how disturbed it is. A gardener once told me that her garden reflects how she feels, and when she is absorbed happily caring for the flowers and plants, they somehow respond to her love.

I wonder, could this be a way of learning how to love,  by respecting and loving  Mother Earth!
