FEVER [8.31.17]

This beautiful earth is burning up

Sweating like a body afflicted with a rolling fever

Dizzy, sweating, shivering in hopes of killing off the intruder

Symptoms tell a story – first gently and then with ever increasing

URGENCY

Attempting to gain the attention of the world outside the boundaries of form

Just as the body can shake you awake in the night in a cold sweat coursing rivers

Signaling that something is WRONG here

Take ACTION

DO something

The beautiful Earth is burning up

And we are not listening

She has a fever and is in desperate need of care

But we are oblivious

She is sick and cries out for us in the night

But we do not hear her weep

We are not listening

Because we are the illness that afflicts her
