Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos - the trees, the clouds, everything.

Ecology

For us to truly care and seek ways to help our Mother Earth - it is destructive to think in terms of only one's own lifetime ~ In fact that is one of the factors that contributes to wasteful thinking and habits ~ It is like having a picnic in a lovely park and leaving all our trash thrown about ... not caring about the next visitors ~ Concern for our planet should be not only what happens in our own lifetime but also what we leave behind - I think about my nieces, nephew, all the future generations to come ~

Thnx Coralinni for sharin' yer deep thoughts about protectin' our planet's ecology - Res-pecktin' MoTheR NaTure - YEA!!!

DAT RIGHT! - we've been blessed by such a precious planet - full of nature's wonders n' delights --- preservin' our ecology is a responsibility we must all take part in - thinkin' of our future generations - so they can cherish what we have's today! ~

Love da picnic analogy Coralinni! - yepz! - It amazes me when me see others dumpin' a piece of trash on da side of da road (Grrr!) or someone not doin' their part in recyclin' -- n' don't give forethought to the near future -- Our children & relatives -- not thinkin' dat our current actions will affect others down da line ~ and lead to trouble's! ~ :O

There's a perfect example of how resources are wasted by a society, not thinkin of future consequences -- da demise of da famous "Easter Island" - land of da Rapa Nui - (will talk about it more's in a future bloggie! - reeal interestin'!)

"Easter Island" is considered by environmentalists alike...a microcosm of da planet Earth -- which used to be a beautiful exotic Pacific paradise ~ palm trees, many species of wildlife......it was home to da great Rapa Nui civilization......But years of wasteful use of da land, fueled by a self-centered viewpoint and pride, not thinkin' of da future consequences.......led up to their own demise and da destruction of their once beautiful island -- which remains today a barren island devoid of vegation n' dry grasslands ~ (DAT BaD'z!)

So it teaches us to respect our Earth Mother - keepin' in mind dat what we do 2-day's will impact those further down da road -- as we're all interconnected's! ~

Let us do our part in takin' care of our natural resources - n' work together's in savin' our planet -- providin' our future generations with da blessings we cherish today ~

(don't wanna make "lil billy" say to pop pop's, "why is da sky brown?" ) O_o

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~

"Easter Island ... it was home to da great Rapa Nui civilization......But years of wasteful use of da land, fueled by a self-centered viewpoint and pride, not thinkin' of da future consequences.......led up to their own demise and da destruction of their once beautiful island -- which remains today a barren island devoid of vegation n' dry grasslands ~"

This is a perfect example of exactly what I was trying to say in my quote Yannaki ~ People need to stop the "me me me" way of thinking - let go of ego and self-centered ways of thinking ~ The consequences of not thinking of the community destroyed the blessing they were given of a beautiful paradise ... Thank you for sharing that with us Yannaki ~

Ditto, I share these views. And to add ... on occasion I've witnessed ... even persons I know, flip a gum wrapper out of a car window ... I say, "what did you just do" ... "oh, it was just a small wrapper, can't hurt anything" ... "oh yeh," "multiply that one little wrapper by about a million or so persons" ..... "hmmm, never thought about that."

And that's just it ... many people just don't think!
