"So she sat on the porch and watched the moon rise.
Soon the amber fluid was drenching the earth, and
quenching the thirst of the day."
Zora Neale Hurston
THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD
The Moon shines upon the earth to reflect a basic equation ... need, supply, thrive. The earth needs water, the rain from the skies fall, and the earth thrives. This formula creates a simple life which we would be wise to follow.
That is, until humans interfere with the environment from forests, oceans, air and health. We know this to be true, and yet as a culture we continue to destroy and contaminate. We breathe in chemicals, digest contaminated fish, eat injected poultry or meats, and consume vegetables either planted in faulty soil or sprayed with poison.
The tobacco companies used to be the most powerful lobbyists, and it has taken years for it to be dismantled due to the addictive substances and cancer causing elements of their product. Lots of time for the prime players to adjust finances to survive. Now it is the NRA in power. How many deaths will it take to dismantle these powerful lobbyists? But I digress, so I will return to my porch swing and watch the moon dance across the deep blue sky with stars reflected in my eyes. Sigh ...
