Island Wisdom

This from a friend in Anna Maria Island, Florida who wishes to remain anonymous. Real food for thought. I post this only because locals are noticing an increase in the nesting of birds in the mangrove estuaries that are usually overrun with hundreds of people and their vehicles who are loud and frankly mostly oblivious to the natural world around them, even when they're looking right at it. If we continue living as before this pandemia, we can only expect worse. But I just don't see any change for the better coming.

===================

An important message from Mother Nature via SandGirrrrL:

So, Mother Nature told me that she has been enjoying the lighter footprint on Mother Earth, her home. Mother Earth is relaxed. Mother Ocean is clearer, with more sea creature activity. Mother Nature loves all creatures on earth, even humans, but has enjoyed seeing less of our polluting inventions traveling around. Her creatures are less frightened, because there aren't large crowds of people shouting, and running around, polluting the shorelines and parks.
She is worried that the heavy footprint will be back though.

She wants me to tell you, all you people, to think about Nature a little more, to respect the creatures, and the Earth more. She remembers a group of people that always did that. She remembers the Native Americans, and the gentleness & respect they paid her, and her creatures. She wishes for us to study and learn from them, the way they lived. She wishes they were still here to teach you.

She told me to warn you, in a kindly way, that when the natural environment is gone, when all the creatures are gone, which is the road humans seem to be going down, human life will suffer greatly. Tragedies, like this pandemic, will happen again, and will even be much, much worse.
Climate change is real. More natural catastrophes will occur. Nature isn't causing climate change. All negative change on the Earth, is the result of human greed and lack of respect for the natural environment.

So, the warning is this: IT MUST STOP NOW. Before it's too late. Mother Nature, Mother Earth & Mother Ocean talk together often about this. Father Time told them the clock is ticking, and it's not in your favor. Take heed humans. I am the messenger. Consider yourselves duly warned.
You are guests on this Earth. Try to be good & gracious ones.
