Your heart is definitely in this poem, Explorer21. It's so true that our climate is splintered, much like the fractured awareness of humans who stubbornly believe we are separate from Nature. We are all one. The answer to this unholy state is in our changing our consciousness and being a partner that sees from Nature's eyes how to be a guardian and protector of the life we call Mother Earth and Gaia.
