Embracing Earth

Earth's magnificent bounties reaching across continents, Igniting natural growth. Erasing all relevance to humanity. * We should embrace earth, for it can thrive without us, whereas we are not so self sufficient. July 08, 2014 Contest: Acrostic 1 in 4 Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

I agree, Arlene. Mother Nature deserves much more respect than we give to her, because with out her, we humans cannot survive.... Your acrostic was so unique using just one word for each letter! Very well done, my friend! Congratulations on your well deserved win!

You remind me of how the sahara sands are blown cross the Atlantic ocean and fertilze the Amazon jungle. The earth can feed itself, and it feeds us too.
