The Path We Leave
Nature rarely works in straight lines. Even when she does, there is always bifurcation. Her assertion in this is that she is tasked with beautifying and giving variety to the face of the Earth. To teach us a higher lesson. One that transcends language, or race, or culture and speaks something universal to our souls. A calling to hope. She reminds us constantly in the ebbs and flows of her proclivities that she is fallen, but destined to be redeemed. She, like us is capable of awe inspiring beauty and total devastation, of storm and fury; of calm and sweetness. Earth. Our fragile home. Our sustenance. The air we breathe. The soil of our substance. A gift often unreceived, but ever offered. Stardust. Like us.
