I was thinking, as I drove home from school today, what a powerful entity is this planet, this 'Mother Nature'. It is now April 30, 1996.
It is raining. And yet, there is a sense of, well, 'expectancy' in the air. I have no doubt, I have faith, that these April showers will bring May flowers. The landscape is already noticeably greener than last week.
Consider all the attempts we make to disturb the system. From burning a hole in the Ozone layer, to cutting down the Rain Forests. From dumping trash into the oceans, to burying nuclear wastes in New Mexico.
Still, Spring Arrives. In this part of the world, the leaves are coming out. More precisely, the leaves are 'growing'. They are not 'coming' or 'going' anyplace.
They are staying right where they are, and reaching for sunlight.
What a powerful planet we live on.
