Not once in ageless eternity has Mother Nature failed. It is simply not in her design to accomplish less than well. Every one, except one- each day of its breath- chooses carefully its actions so to be what it was created to be. So now the question must be asked, why does Man, self-titled Crown of Creation, choose pathways of destruction, while the wren, and the sparrow reach goals of sublime? Why do we suffer our existence, pointing fingers, as balefully we whine, seeking small poor excuses for the failure of our kind. Trees have no need for therapists, life coaches, or manuals for success. If success is to be truly counted and will be when destiny's won, Trees can in all honesty claim well done. Perhaps it's time to stop crying and finally begin to start trying being just what we were created to be. [This message has been edited by shyvl (05-10-2008 07:58 AM).] |

Shyvl, I don't agree with this at all. Man does the best he can, and some have reason to whine. It a man eat man world out there, in case you haven't noticed. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (05-10-2008 01:09 AM).] |

Shyvl, Here are a few errors I found. Not once in ageless eternity has Mother Nature failed. It is simply not in her design to accomplish less than well. Every one, except one- each day of it's breath- its chooses carefully it's its actions so to be what it was created to be. So now the question must be asked, Why why does Man, self-titled Crown of Creation, choose pathways of destruction, while the wren, and the sparrow reach goals of sublime? Other than that, it's pretty well written. Bobby |

Dear Sharyn, you did a very good job with this thought provoking write. The majority of human beings does ignore the law of love, the law of respect, the law of appreciation of the immense gift of life. Our profit oriented societies are bound to fail in bringing happiness through material wealth, while neglecting the preservation of the life giving resources of Mother Earth. Thank you for this. Love, Margherita |

Are joy and contentment at their purest when we can just be? For me it is difficult to let each moment have it's way with me. I want to bend everything to my will and thus become disappointed. Maybe I am a slow learner. But every now and then I can just be. Rick Delmonico |

Dear Sharyn, I totally agree with all of your sentiments here. (Hu)Man, is inherently flawed, as we should be. But Mother Nature? Her only flaw, is us. Loved this. Rich |
