We fall away from the forest

The man, somewhat less than
environmentally leaning,
falls down, making a definite
sound in protest.

The forest, far away
and dwindling, may or may not hear
his unkind sting. It’s none the less,
not interested.

francis,
the forest is at peace....with itself...with other forests...unlike us perhaps...a great correlation....or the sheer "ignorance" of it....let them be blissful ...

Thanks Manik, I'm sure the forests would just like us to keep our lack of peace far from them :)

I like this, indifferent forest.

The forests. . .the planet will destroy us before we can ruin everything. Already the planet is fighting back.

Thanks Klaire. The planet will get along just fine without us... I just worry about the many creatures and plants we'll probably drag down with us.

Hi. Came over from Klaires. Nicely done. I feel we have a definite lack of respect for earth...that round thing that houses us. We feel entitled to it. It belongs to none. We rent space. We'll sing a different tune when the lease is not renewed.

Thanks Annie. I despair a little that it may be too late, but I hope we find our way back to cherishing the mother who gave us birth.
