Sat reading the chapter on Rubies as the sun set on Friday evening.. a beautiful rich peach gold slowly sinking into our night ..a night clear sky revealed a beautiful full moon .. Chandra in Hindi .. i said this out loud and an Indian couple stopped me saying how do you know our language...I explained from time in India ..
I am sharing extracts from the book in the hope you see what I see and feel what I feel ... This planet home Earth is awesome ... and we are simply a dot on its timeline ... The amazing geographical shifts that have happened over millions of years changing contours hiding seas .. making mountains.. fusing elements ... we find gemstones with their own beauty ..extracted from the dark depths of this planet .to then in sunlight dazzle in refracted light. ..take a moment to take your consciousness to your feet where you are and think of you standing on this Earthly plane in all its splendour... what is down in the core of this life supporting home we are living on ..
NOW think of the delusion that man is greater than this.. the delusion that this planet can be bought and sold to satisfy mans greed and deluded power ego.. ! Think of all the crazy somewhat stupid damage we are doing to this awesome planet ... A planet that has a life of its own an existence that is not dependent on we humans .yet provides all that we need to support our lives and all creation from sea to land from microbes to elephants from crops to feed us to trees and flowers ...
Where I was reading I was joined by fellow creatures of this Earth
in all their beauty and Majesty.
