We are faced daily with news worldwide
of droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes
floods and landslides, wildfires and cyclonic
rainfalls that turn deadly. Photographs of
firefighters facing wildfire infernos and
mass evacuations with volcanic eruptions
and massive dam failures, communities
facing privation, loss and famine leading to
mass starvation. Nature at its untamed
deadliest unleashing on an unready world
the fracturing effect of extreme elements
answerable to no human agency. Yet the
distemper of the natural world is held to be
nature's reaction to humanity's misuse of
resources at world disposal to advance the
fortunes of humanity carving geological
formations to extract the substances meant
to enhance societies' ease and wealth. And
though a tornado struck nearby our home
wreaking havoc and pain we fortunate ones
take our leisure through standing forests
of nearby approach to revel in the beauty
and majesty of raw nature in the moment.
