Just as in marriages, when the
couple tenderly love and care for each other...exchanging vows that they'll
eternally keep ~ then, ‘Life in the True’ may become discombobulated! The moments lose their luster...their
sentiments cloud with doubts...and day to day seems like weeks and months of
mere existence. Corrective means must be
taken! Negativity can be erased with
forgiveness and Positive conduct.
For each of
Nature's foregoing Dangers in Part 1, I endorse the following assured concepts.
The Rose: “Won’t you come into my garden? I would like my roses to see you.” (Richard Sheridan)
“The sharp thorn often
produces delicate roses.” (Ovid)
“A single rose can be my garden ~ a single friend my world.” (Leo Buscagia)
“A single rose can be my garden ~ a single friend my world.” (Leo Buscagia)
“If you enjoy the fragrance
of a rose, you must accept the thorns it bears.” (Isaac Hayes)
The Bolsa Wetlands:
Restoration programs are improving the habitats with the removal of non-native
plants; removing trash along trails and wetlands; protecting endangered species
of birds and animals.
Florida’s Everglades National
Park is one of America’s last
grassland landscapes. It is Florida’s Rocky Mountains & Black Hills; it is her Finger Lakes & her
High Desert...spanning 11 million acres.
Diseases: Large parts of the world have not enjoyed
the remarkable global progress in health conditions that have taken place over
the past century. Millions of deaths in
impoverished nations are avoidable with the presentation and treatment of
options that the rich world already uses.
Cosmetics without any synthetic ingredients are
preferred as synthetic ingredients can be harmful to the skin. Cosmetics are regarded as a means of
enhancing one’s complexion and beautifying the skin. Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance
one’s appearance (whether male or female).
Health Supplements:
Nearly 71% of Canadians use natural health products (vitamins and
minerals). Eating according to Canada’s Food Guide is the required way
to having a healthy diet.
Tea (as a supplement): Drinking 2 to 3 cups per day of black or
green tea helps to maintain your circulatory
system…reducing the risk of strokes…helps
maintain a healthy weight…may improve your vision…and help reduce stress levels.
Water: Clean Water is a Fundamental Human Right!.
Only 1 in 8 people in the world have “clean water” because they lack
access to it. It is said “Prescription
for Life…just add Water.” A marine
biologist states that getting close to water increases our brain experience…and
often releases tensions.
Plants: The
neurological, psychological and emotional
changes need Humans and Humans need Plants because plants breathe out
oxygen and we need oxygen. We breathe
out carbon dioxide and plants need carbon dioxide. The same is true for trees.
The Food Chain varies in length from 3 to 6 levels or
more. A flower, a frog, a snake and
an owl represent 4 levels. Grass, a grasshopper, a rat, a snake and a
hawk represent 5 levels. There is
also a “Short Food Chain”: Corn…hens…humans; grass…cows...humans; or potatoes…humans;
and lastly... water plants…small
fish…large fish…humans. Which
takes the least energy???
Natural Disasters: Did
the great FIRE that swept Yellowstone in 1988 devastate the park…or did they just
ravish an image of the park as a fixed
unchanging natural treasure? Seth Reice
contends that we can better address the wide environmental problems that
seriously face us. Disturbances are a benefit to ecosystems in order to accomplish what is possible…such as the
production of clean air and water. Wolves
have been introduced back into the park which has been most beneficial.
Every tornado’s funnel cloud,
every forest fire’s billowing cloud of
smoke…each has tremendous benefits for the ecosystem it impacts. “This is the cloud’s real silver lining!”
John Muir, a Scottish born American
environmentalist,
naturalist and scientist wrote:
Everybody needs beauty as well
as bread,
places to play in and pray in…
where Nature may heal and give
strength to body and soul.
What makes a desert beautiful
is that somewhere it hides a well.
(Antoine de Saint Exupery)
All things share the same
breath ~ the beast, the tree, the man.
The air shares its spirit with all the life is supports.
(Chief Seattle)
