Nurture your Nature

Air, water, earth.

"We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share." — Maya Angelou

I'm joyful each time my stick plant blooms in February, each time I see a meagre bloom on the geranium in Summer.

When I'm hugged I feel a connection. Some might call it love. I'm energized each time. So few times this past year.

Yes, we need each other in our lives to survive or thrive.

Except here.

Here writers retreat into their caves of depression or hide with their fantasies behind thick fortress walls. They eschew interaction.

And I feel abandoned on my Isle of the Lonely, begging for visits as ships pass by barely leaving a thumbs up. At a distance I can't distinguish that from a middle finger at attention.

I realize that people don't want to listen to the same lament stuck on replay.

         Yes, we need each other.
         Yes, we could show more love.
         Yes, we flourish with joy.

Repeated ad nauseum.

Air and water and fertile soils are nice when there's access to one's needs. Without your joy, love and hugs, I'm barely surviving.
