Ink smears, as thoughts sometimes do. ~Terri Guillemets

Some days so many words rush to my head,

But I don't know how to say them
So I write them instead

God be amongst us and within us. Earth is our mother and nature’s law is our father, our protector. Thus, we pray.

Father do not forgive them for they know precisely what they do. Those destroyers of earth’s beauty and goodness, those killers of nature, do not forgive them.
Those betrayers of nature’s love. Those exploiters of nature’s innocence. Those poisoners. Do not forgive them.
Those greedy, pompous people. That greed and pomposity within us all. The sum total of that petty greed and pomposity within us all. We now know precisely what these things are doing to this earth. So Father, do not forgive us for we now understand what it is that we do.
Amen.

-Michael Leunig
