Today’s post is based on the link below. Look at it before or after. It works either way.
How dumb they all look. How silly. How distracted. How lost in the world as they stand in it. How unaware of what is happening around them. What do they think they shall find? What mysteries are hidden in that little screen? Will it change their lives? Will is bring them peace, comfort, and joy? Will they find what they have been seeking? Somewhere. Somehow, in that little screen?
All the while I am right here waiting to be noticed. To be seen. To be explored. I wonder if they know what is lost by not looking up. What is more glorious than color changing leaves? Sunrises? Sunsets? Oceans? And tress? The universe has so much to entertain them. To give them mysteries to solve. Valleys, hills, mountains to explore. Prompts all around to create stories, myths, legends galore. So much existing. So much wanting to be seen and heard.
Seek to understand me. But their necks do not bed. Make it easier. But their necks do not bend. I start to worry something is wrong. Why won’t they look up? Is there anything I can do to help?
Desperate for attention. More tornados. Cold. Then hot. Then colder. Then hotter. All in the span of days. “Look up!”, I scream. Fear in my voice. Shouts louder than before. Ice caps melt. Glaciers break. Entire species gone. Land destroyed. Fires rage. Their looking down only gets worse.
I am weary. Having tried so hard. Tears fall, seeing humanity near its end. Wondering what could have been done differently. “Everything you ever needed was right here for you”. So much. So much provided. More than what they would ever need.
Even when you hurt me. I did not raise my hand or voice to punish you. You were young and new. You knew no better. You would learn. I would give you time to grow and flourish. It seems our time is coming to an end.
Now, after millions of years, you are broken. Was there anything I could have done? Was there any way to help?
Regardless. I can see. It is too late. You can no longer look up to the wonders and see my hand reaching…
Earth to Humanity.
