Paper & Ink

"Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece..."

I failed to mention it in previous posts, but the current situation in the Gulf of Mexico has been weighing heavy on my heart and mind.  The damage done to our environment is terrifying, but what saddens me the most is that we will likely continue living our lives in the same fashion...turning a blind eye to our destructive ways. However, I hope that this catastrophe will serve as a wake up call and spark some positive change.  But a change in outcome requires a change in lifestyle! A reality check on our priorities, morals, and values is in order! And I think that demanding better legislation from our elected officials and taking the power out of the hands of large corporations is also a good start. If we can work together, rather than against each other, maybe the future won't look so bleak.

  1. Emily,
    Thankyou for the heart-felt post. We all agree with you, whether its oil spilt on our beaches and marshland or in our case, coal waste.
    We've all got to work together on this one to sustain 'the good-life.
    Keep up the good work and we'll all appreciate your work by reading your future blogs.
    Wil in IL
