Enemies of the Planet

the planet needs a hug. needs attention, needs empathy from you, me, continuously. the planet needs love, needs understanding, needs us to be present as we estimate how much cutting back it will take to save it. the planet is not a trash can, is not one big ashtray, is in decay. with our future, with her future, we play. the planet is important, is necessary, is primary. what do we do? we take it for granted. we have become enemies to the health of the planet.
