The simplicity of my day to day. |
This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things
|
Have fun with these random words: thirteen, mistakes, frequency, radical, abundant, grinch, and koalas. It’s difficult to write today with all the terrible news of the devastating loss of people’s homes in the fires. I think mistakes must have been made for such a catastrophe to happen, although I realise after the weeks and months of drought the resulting abundance of dry fuel exacerbated the fires. It was a reminder of the fires we experienced here in Australia when people from around the world sent money towards the recovery. The vision of a Koala drinking from a fireman’s drink bottle went viral. That image showed the plight of the koalas, when their habitat was destroyed, better than any words. I’m sure everyone will be prompted to put their hands in their pockets and send donations for those poor souls who have lost everything. Even the Grinch’s ice cold heart would surely be touched by the disaster. The frequency of forest fires is increasing as the earth warms. Climate change is upon us, the clock is chiming thirteen. and the LA fires are a stark reminder of what’s to come unless we all take responsibility and do something radical to turn things around. |
