The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Earth Shrugged

Vibrations feral spread across the land
Meek upon earth, then approached the elder
“We are helpless; please help man understand!”

“For he has engaged in widespread plunder
Consumed by desire and ruled by instinct 
Killing, maiming and mining down under”

Mother Earth listened, viewing her precinct 
Thought awhile, then from God took permission
Spewing a virus, with message succinct:

“Enjoy my gifts, in joyful elation
Live in peace or face annihilation“

Yes SO true. When Mother Earth starts reacting, nothing can stop her. God bless ~ Ani

Thanks, Jenna! For the spiritually curious, this was foretold way back in 2012 in a channelled message from Maha Avatar Babaji
