Echoes of a Warming Earth
A Plea from Nature in the Face of Climate Change
The Warming Earth
The skies once clear, now streaked with gray,
The sun a stranger in the light of day.
Oceans rise, as glaciers fall,
A warming world, too late to call.
Forests whisper, leaves are thin,
The earth is tired, weary within.
Storms rage louder, winds more fierce,
Nature’s balance begins to pierce.
But still we walk, with blind intent,
Ignoring signs that heaven sent.
A plea for change, to heed the cost,
Before more beauty is forever lost.

The Hidden Consciousness: Why We Struggle to Accept That Plants and Animals May Be Aware
Introduction For centuries, humans have placed themselves at the top of the cognitive hierarchy. With our languages, tools, and complex societies, we have assumed that consciousness is a uniquely human phenomenon—or at least, one reserved for beings that resemble us. But what if we are wrong? What if the trees that sway silently in the forest and the animals that roam the wild plains possess forms of consciousness vastly different from ours? The idea is both fascinating and unsettling. Despite increasing scientific evidence suggesting that plants and animals exhibit forms of awareness, intelligence, and even memory, many of us struggle to fully accept it. This reluctance reveals deep-seated biases, fears, and philosophical assumptions that shape how we view the natural world.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Great work
This poem powerfully captures the urgent and emotional reality of climate change. With vivid imagery and a somber tone, it reflects humanity's neglect and the Earth's silent suffering. The lines provoke reflection and serve as a heartfelt call to action, urging us not to ignore the signs before it’s too late. A poignant and beautifully written reminder of what’s at stake.
Thanks for spreading the word. We really do need to start taking action
