Beautifully said Su, I agree that Mother earth is retaliating and will protect as any mother would do. Thankfully the world is waking up and trustfully it's not too late. Hugs Maria

Oh, Inky. I was ill this past week (running a fever) and I 'woke up' to the uncomfortable truth of our twilight years. Thank you for reading and getting to the core of my message.
