She allows her children to experience themselves through her.
She knows they will eventually understand
Their connectedness to all
For, although they have dominion,
They are all intertwined, related, enmeshed in her
And with all other life expressions.
How could it be otherwise,
Since they emerged from the same source.
The same divine energy flows through them all, plant and animal alike.
They do not understand how powerful they are, but they will.
Without knowledge or understanding of what they are doing,
Their thoughts, words, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors pour their consequences
Into her being, and she allows it all.
For they must learn.
Though she stands firm and unwavering in her love for them,
They do not see that they are destroying, her beauty
Her ability to sustain herself, them, all life.
Species lost, land and water polluted,
Yet they continue, blindly believing
In their selfish ignorance
that they can do anything and remain unscathed.
In her great love for them, she warns them
She cannot allow herself to be destroyed,
So she must cough up their poison,
Wash out their pollution,
And blow away their indiscretions.
Still, They do not heed her admonitions.
They continue their reckless, wanton exploitation
Of all that she is.
She knows that they can and must learn
But when?
