It is the ultimate and most profound parable of all.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-44576347491799863972011-04-11T18:50:04.036-04:002011-04-11T18:50:04.036-04:00Whenever I think about the Darwinist who wrote abo...Whenever I think about the Darwinist who wrote about religion being an evolutionary device I think,"Of course" but not in the way they claim. How long were our primate ancestors arboreal? How long were our early mammalian ancestors arboreal? at least 80 million years and I think we could extend it back 200,250 maybe even 300 million years to our mammal-like reptilian ancestors. Our bodies, our brains, our nerves, our spirits, our very souls grew and flourished and quite simply came into being in trees. TREES ARE OUR MOTHERS.What is the karma acrued when children treat their mothers in return the way too many humans have treated their mothers?After almost a dozen viewings,the part of AVATAR that affects me the most is when Jake Sully prays to Eywa before the climactic battle and simply states "They KILLED their mother." I decided about twenty years ago that it was a very RATIONAL thing to worship trees.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014871782312888880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-69984472413630070412011-04-08T20:13:05.725-04:002011-04-08T20:13:05.725-04:00Thank you Rita but please note, this is all cribbe...Thank you Rita but please note, this is all cribbed - all of the prose is from the killing Mother blog, and the pictures are from a flickr account!<br /><br />But yes...we are annoying mother nature. For only one instance, we are heating the oceans, and that is putting pressure through thermal expansion on the coastal shores...is it any wonder we are seeing more and stronger earthquakes?Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-44279978552164897032011-04-08T20:00:49.378-04:002011-04-08T20:00:49.378-04:00Beautiful writing, Gail.

And the prozac!<br /><br />My mental image of all the quakes and tsunamis is of Our Mother getting irritated with us and shaking us off. When a big sow has too many piglets, she will get so weary of them sucking on her that she gets up and leaves while they are still hanging on and steps all over them. You can see it in her face. She has had enough.<br /><br />fThank you for this blog.<br />RitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-60648211461984772612011-04-08T18:49:50.525-04:002011-04-08T18:49:50.525-04:00Thank you tsisageya!

We who see what is happening to our Mother, the earth, must cope as we can.
