give me your poor and hungry
and I will dash them upon the rocks
give me your rich and fortunate
and I will dash them upon the rocks too
it makes no difference to me
one sweet potato to another:
run!
you are nothing
eat chicken salad for lunch
or tofu soup with lots of ginger and some garlic
drink wheat grass juice
see if I care
I will trample anything that believes it can conquer me.
Signed,
Nature
challenge. Today's prompt is continuation.This is my entry to @mariannewest's daily freewrite
Well, well, well. The stuff that comes out of my head when I freewrite! In this one, you can see what I ate yesterday.
I will trample anything that believes it can conquer me. I think Florida did just that. They have changed Mother Nature so much that now she has thrown her arms in the air and sat in her rocker on the front porch and said, "Florida, do you see what you have done to me? Now you have to live with it".

All over the country, but boy did the everglades get hit hard. Dams, earthworks, monoculture farms, geoengineering, poisoned water, pharmaceuticals in every rotting body, war war war, etc. Idk how Nature is going to correct this, but it won't be by something as simple as global warming, which is a hoax. I think it has ways we can't even imagine. Man will destroy himself at nature's hands.
I could list several pages of things that this State has done to destroy what Mother Nature created, the last is all of the sand dumpings on the beaches, and with each storm, it gets washed back out to sea which is covering the reefs and killing them, then they dump more. All in the name of saving these big houses that they allow to be built along it. It makes me so mad. I agree with you about the Everglades, it is all heartbreaking.
Yet we keep competing with it... It owns our lives and our defiance is still able to lie to us we are more powerful than it is.
It's in genesis, that man has dominion over nature. Right off the bat, the bible lies to us. Look at the ruin that one line has brought us.
I have watched my people struggle with the holy book and the rules of the land since I called it quits. Those who will die for their saviour trashing what is too obvious for all to see.
Too obvious, too simple. The simplest things are the hardest to see. When we give our power to an external source, we become slaves.
What a sad reality.
Haha I was wondering where that was going and it settles back to the majesty and power of nature.
I often picture nature taking back everything in this small town. When the rich topple from the balconies of the houses of cards and squash the little people, the nature that has patiently bided its time will reclaim what we pretend is ours.
Solid stuff.
Thanks, and well said! I wrote it last night, but chose not to publish it because I didn't understand it. When I read it this morning, it said to me what you just said.
I love your use of the word majesty - there is no other king than nature. Any dictates from a king are no more worthy than dictates of my own. Of late, there have been many self-proclaimed kings. Nature values them no more than it does me. It's comforting to me to know this. That I am nothing. It really takes a lot of pressure off! This knowledge gives me the power to follow my own heart, and no other's. Freedom!
Absolutely.
Yesterday while driving somewhere I was reflecting upon how insubstantial I am when you consider the billions of years the universe has been existence, the speck of time that humanity has existed, and the scratch in the scratch on the surface my life plays in that.
It can make you feel insignificant for sure but it can also give you perspective on how small our problems are and throw the chains off. Just enjoy the nature and interacting with organisms for a simple and meaningful life.
I think this is a human being's greatest power, to embody peace and love on the planet. We've been led astray by tales of other purposes, and been weakened thereby, enslaved. Until now. The Age of Aquarius and all that. Rejoice!
Wow!
Nature is casting sidelong glances at us now (my family, my dad) -
He who shook his fast and asserted his iron will and reigned over his little world -
That world is closing in on him now, slowly, ohhhh so slowly,
Dragging it out, as a cat might play with a mouse.
How often has everyone heard me say the punishment doesn't fit the crime...
Not that I am a judge, not that I know what constitutes justice, or karma.
But ohhhh, my heart aches at this train wreck of a man in these final years
(years without end)
How lucky are those who die suddenly... even without a farewell.... "It rains on the just and the unjust alike" - but the rocks dashing us all, rich or poor, that's a high-impact image. :) You know what I'll say next: #love it!!!!
It is very difficult to be a witness to a long drawn out death, I know. I'm so sorry you are going through that! And so many times recently. xoxoxoxo
So I summon whatever is Above and Beyond, I call on God or whoever may hear, whoever or whatever may unite us in spirit. (Surely that is not just a cliche, right?Thanks @owasco! Seven years of your own son slowly dying - that is above and beyond.
No, I don't imagine the Wands of Horus will accelerate the healing, but hey, it may affect us the same way as belief in God or the gods, right? To focus on all that is good, to hope there is more than the eye can see, to believe we are a part of something greater.
I try to believe what Whitman said: To die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier.
I try to believe that too. If the medium who channeled him at the party a couple months ago was really in touch with him, he is much happier now than he was on earth.
Ohhhh, let us hope the medium is right - her message echoes that of so many NDEs (Near Death, but should be labeled actual death, as in heart stops beating and brain activity stops, then starts).
Those who "die" never seem eager to return to this world.
And they seem to forget all about who and what they have left behind.
Are the dead not really dead, but alive in a different way, and can they see/hear us, sense us?
Millions of people claim this is true. They have no doubt of it.
Well, I keep hoping.
And things are looking up today. Hey, for all I know, Bruni and Niko were swirling through the air, planting ideas, watching them take root in the minds of the living....
This is a thought-provoking one. I think nature is giving us lots of warnings now with the ever intense storms and weird weather patterns.
