Dialogue with my muse |
Life is all about stewardship. It all belongs to God - he just loans it to us for a short period of time. The first command God gave to man was to take care of the Earth, which includes managing and protecting the environment.~Rick Warren JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. What's on your mind today? JOE: I've been thinking about the newsletter I published this weekend about peace and how we can achieve it. CALLIOPE: Yes? JOE: My focus was on how we approach each other. I neglected to say anything about how we approach the earth itself. CALLIOPE: Tell me. JOE: It's like I'm suggesting people treat each other with respect and then go trash their homes. CALLIOPE: You think it's that bad? JOE: When we allow the earth to poison its inhabitants due to the way we treat it, I think it is that bad. CALLIOPE: What can you do about it? JOE: I think of John the Baptist, the voice of one crying in the desert. CALLIOPE: That's how you feel? JOE: Sometimes I do. Many people are beginning to take environmental concerns seriously while others poo-poo them. CALLIOPE: Getting upset won't help. JOE: I realize that. I guess I can just keep doing my part. Talk with you tomorrow. |
