An added clarification note...

*For the comments i received from my last post:



i think upon this and other natural disasters we are having and have had both here in Australia (For instance the dreadful fires we had so close to my own home not so long ago when my family had to evacuate) and those others around the world, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions & etc... and it has taught me to look at the bigger picture...



And i see people come together in ways that they never would have before, i see heartbreak teach lessons that could never be understood otherwise, i see death help people to understand life and survival help people to appreciate what they have... i do not have a cold heart or take these things lightly, i cry when i hear of the death of children & see the anguish in their parents hearts reflected in mine and it teaches me to hold my children dearer... i come to understand that life is so much more precious when my own mortality is faced and my doc talks to me about Quality of Life and not survival rates... How else could i talk to the little boy that lives over my back fence about his little friend that just died of cancer while i still stand there hanging out the washing...

In my worlde everything becomes meaningful, not in some hippy hide my head in the sand kind of way, but in a clear cut sometimes harsh way that cuts through all the shite and reveals the magic... Mother Nature is a tough teacher as all my best have always been... We have forgotten how to listen to her and so we do things in what sometimes seems the hard way...



We are ~here~ for such Lessons i can only believe in my Heart for this is what makes sense of all of the what would otherwise seem utter madness and revenge of The Gods...

By ' a cleansing' i mean of the Spirit, the Heart, the Soul...
i Believe, you see, in such things, because they speak to my Heart, and i take my experiences and the lessons of others experiences too and try to make them make a difference...

In these difficult times of floods i have seen bearded Angels with tears in their eyes who have lost everything hold tight to their only surviving pet, i have seen people risking their own lives to hold the heads of horses until they reach dry land and survival, i see such huge Hearts in the most ordinarily unassuming types and it teaches me that i have more to give myself... These 'hard times' teach me that i have a reason to Be, just as it will teach those survivors of these floods... It will bring our communities together more, as they should be and it will teach us to share and give and hold each other closer than before... Whether we choose it to Be so or not for that, is in my mind, the true nature of such 'disasters' and sadness~es ...



And isn't that interesting that just now my local fire siren should choose this moment to howl for local volunteers to come to a rescue of some sort...
