Hurricane Irene

In the eye of the storm
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! For thousands of year we have raped pillaged, ravaged and polluted the earth. Her soil, atmosphere plant life, trees, animal world have been destroyed by man, in an attempt to break down the earth’s immune system.

Now she returns as hurricane Irene and even the mightiest nation in the world, who in the past invaded other nations won the star wars etc, is cowering and fleering like whimpering idiots. When Nature’s empire strikes back fear spreads like wildfire and little men with spines resembling spineless lightning rods can not escape the bolt from the blue. They shut down power, trains, airports, life came to a standstill, and everyone stayed indoors. Mother Nature’s message was clear “don’t mess with me” I will blow you to smithereens into kingdom come.
Yet Mother Nature is a woman and is compassionate, she has love in her heart and has just admonished everyone, and unlike man does not believe in wanton destruction.
For those who believe in her and have the courage to go beyond the end of the line or horizon, the rainbow will appear. If we can embrace the Universe we will find the calm in the eye of the hurricane/ storm. Because we are here to enjoy our life and nature despite the storm, let’s not forget at the end of the day we have only ourselves to answer and blame.
As the technologically and spiritually evolved Steve jobs stated- you have to trust in something – your Gut, Destiny, Life, Karma, whatever and then the Universe won’t let you down. Goodnight and goodbye Irene! – Vinay -
