The Heart of the Matter

This morning when I woke up at 5.30 am, it was raining outside. My first thought went to the flowers growing outside. I wouldn't have to water them when it pours like that.

Even so, I love watering the plants, pulling out a weed or two and simply admiring the tiny buds of roses or the purple flowers that create an aesthetic front view of my house. They are a sight for sore eyes.

Anyway, the world has realized the importance of Earth's greenhouses, no matter how small, far between or wide, the length and breadth of a nurtured Earth would have stopped the drastic climate change that has escalated. Everywhere, there's some form of natural disaster taking place. Do you recall the tsunami, the devastating earthquakes, the flooding, the drought and the poor glaciers which are melting at an alarming rate? What of the North Pole and the Polar bears?

Sometimes, I wonder if it is too late to make amends. Just like how it is with men who go to war, who spur racial slurs, and who create division and unrest.

A writer denounces anything that stands in the way of a polished work. Just like that, I think God polished his creation on the seventh day and gave us humans 70-seven times chances to keep it as pristine as he created it. Well, none of us had it in us to do what was entrusted to us. 

As it still rains, I write this note to you. The rain will stop nevertheless for the sun to come up once again. However, I am not sure about the pain in our hearts for a world so ravaged. 

What is the heart of the matter?

The heart of the matter is that the pain of rain should be felt deep inside. It is not everywhere that it rains, and it is not always that we can redeem ourselves or make things as it was before. To amend what had gone wrong with our ways and thinking.

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Not killed off in ways unimaginable, like we did with our beautiful planet.

With that, I write as I should, and will myself to hope that all of humanity now work together to stay alive and well.

Have a lovely weekend.

A Bientot,

Shobana
