Well how incredible and eerie were the dust storms that hit us. From my verandah I could not see the house in the valley below us. It was suffocating in its intensity. If ever there was a reminder that we are just visitors on this earth and not masters (as we often kid ourselves we are) then the bizarre weather patterns are throwing it in our faces, literally! I guess that we cannot keep taking from Mother Earth and not expect her to give it back in some respect. She will be trying to recreate balance, to heal and we are helpless in the power of her quest to do so. I sat that day and blessed her and gave thanks that I was able to live where I do and have her beauty around me, even in the dust of the air. We become so complacent in our arrogance and in the end that could be our undoing. Time to dust off our lethargy and take a good look at how we can work in conjunction with the earth to create balance and harmony. To be more firmly in the role of custodians, to help us help ourselves!
