License to Kill

Mother Earth is our home. She has given us pure water to drink, fresh air to breath and rich soil, in which to feed us. Regardless of how much we overuse the land, pollute air and waste the water, she continues to try and purify all of it.

She attempts to discipline the children of earth from time to time by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, wind storms and flooding but we just keep on doing what we are doing with little to no regard for the consequences.

Yes, there are consequences! Everything of the earth is organic, perishable material. If you think you can continue to pollute, abuse and overuse the land, then you have permission…..on one condition. When you are able to make soil, produce water and create new air, from scratch, that will take care of billions of people, and maintain the delicate balance of mother nature; then there will be less of a need to be conservative with our limited natural resources!

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“When you can co-create from nothing, then you can act like God.” tc

Fire Inside

I heard this quote the other day and found it interesting to think about.

“When there is a fire some people bring wood, while others bring water.”

When I look back on my life, I can clearly see the times when I brought wood and contributed to the blazing fires around me. On some occasions, I even built the fire and invited others to throw some gasoline on it. Many of these events took place in my youth. I thought I knew so much, was right about most things and was invincible.

Then, life decided to teach me a few lessons. As I matured, I found myself beginning to lay the logs down and I began picking up buckets of water, instead. I discovered that it took a lot of energy to keep certain fires burning and I was becoming busy with other things in my life.

Now, I carry extra water in my truck and put out fires wherever I go. I realize that the benefit of fire is so limited in life and few know how to use fire effectively to accomplish anything in a positive manner, so it is much better to put the fires out, rather than try to manage an already explosive situation.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“I hope you throw water, instead of wood on the fires around you.” tc
