Hey, your glass is empty
It's a hell of a long way home.
Why don't you let me take you,
No good to go alone.
~ Sarah Mclachlan


Another 2000 people lost their lives again this morning in India, to the chaos that is Mother Nature's character. How strange that she can make this world the thing of beauty and glory to the Creator that it is , and then a tyrant of rage and malice the next moment; ironic it is that some of us on one side of this planet are basking in the cool autumn sunshine and pulling dry red leaves caught tangled in our hair - while on the other hemisphere people scramble for their lives, when not running from eachother are surviving earthquakes, typhoons and the like.

I am forever scratching my head wondering how we can all live on this SAME earth and yet we allow those to suffer amongst us in this day and age. How can a powerhouse like the US of A, which claims so much of this world's suffering due to unfair trade, war and poverty not be able to provide for it's OWN PEOPLE??? How can Bill Gates live knowing he can single-handedly provide for almost an entire countries people who are deprived of the bare necessities of food, water and shelter. What is the use to horde finances, where does capitalism gain get us if the ones among us are still without so much. Is it worth it to be ahead and above? Amazing how even when our eyes are open when we move around this world, they are blinded to so much( or how much we refuse to see.)

It's evident to anyone who reads this that I am still worrying about where I am going to get my morning cups of coffee this next week once my last $10 runs out .
For the record, I am just as guilty as the above. My eyes are open but sometimes I just don't want to see.
