Do You Know What Day Is Coming? One More Time Whiteflash Says Hello!

A few weeks ago, I spoke to the fact that so many have no idea what Womens Day, March 8, is, or is all about.  That got some great global reactions.

Here we go again...

Earth Day, April 22, 2010...its coming....

Most of the planet's billions of souls do not know, or even care.  Yet, look what has just happened!  The Iceland volcano just changed the lives of tens of millions, maybe more, and no end is in sight...Last time this one decided to erupt in the 1820's, it lasted two years...but that was before we we were an interdependent global world...we did not need to board jetliners in those days...this time, guess what, there could not be a more literal and direct message...."we better respect the Earth!",  I mean not just planting trees, but knowing that our lives are also tied to earth's natural forces beyond what all humans can possibly know or influence...

It does not matter whether you are a "Global Warming" type, a "Climate Change" concerned intellect, or even oppose such labels and movements...what is the truth is that no one ever knows what the forces of the Earth can bring to our civilization, our society, our travel plans, our Sunday afternoon tea with friends...which just got cancelled...we are humbled again...Whiteflash reminds who is really the boss...

Earth Day...it happens each year...we are reminded we share this soil and its disruptive forces of wind, high water, fire, smoke and ash...and we are leveled in the fight against it.

...how can we even think that the Icelandic dark cloud of smoke...a kind of bad Greenflash...could be changed, altered, re-directed, minimized, or controlled by us human souls on Planet Earth...?  Haha...that is a real delusion...we are just passengers on this plane...the real one...the place where we just plant our feet..

Earth Day has new meaning to me.  Mother Earth, Father Sky...Whiteflash...deliver us from evil...how can we begun to understand these forces...we are humbled...we respect this Earth...for its sunsets over water...for its Greenflash we are given as a gift to see...we respect the ultimate power of the biggest place we call home...the round sphere we call Home, Planet Earth...

Whiteflash teaches us what we cannot control...we ask for something and make an offering in return, if there is some big thing worth everything to ask for...the rest is up to the forces of nature and the ultimate gift I call the Whiteflash moment...if we are graced...if it is given...there is no guarantee.

...so on Earth Day, we could ask...and we could offer...something like this..."We have collectively now seen how small we are to the power of the Earth's forces...if we come from this place and time...and if we can have a chance to not be hurt too badly by this cloud which could shut down a continent from trade and transportation, and economic sustainance as we know it..shut down for an unknown period of time...if we acknowledge and pledge our respect for this Earth in our individual life...we pledge a new respect for it all...Planet Earth, our efforts to respect and just begin to understand it...we ask for relief for a while...so we can gather our human strength, to live on..."  If you believe in prayer...that might be one...if you just believe in credos and pledges...this may be your moment...

...we respect  Earth, our ultimate homeward bound place we call "home", and we celebrate our respect for taking a part in helping that home...

Earth Day, I'll bet on April 22, if you have read this piece, will have new meaning...one more time, Whiteflash has said "Hello out there...can you hear me?" 

...I will hear you...I am one of the luckier ones who got home...
