CYCLES MUST PREVAIL

Water cycles on

Vapor fluid frozen

Icecap fog ocean

Turn, turn & return.

Water the plants;

The plants grow

Into food for All

Friend or foe.

Plants provide,

Weeds to trees,

Inhale carbon CO2

So roots enrich soil

Plants exhale

O2 oxygen into air

We inhale as breath

For living there.

Natureʼs machines

Keep circling through

To keep life on earth

Forever new.

Do not disrupt

Creationʼs systems;

Water, soil and plants,

Air to breathe & food

Produced by cycles

Essential for life to

Come on around when

Allowed to operate.

Plants are the bottom

link of the food chain.

Respect. Survive.

Appreciate. Thrive.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS ROCKS!

Iʼm looking over a four leaf clover that I overlooked before; one leaf is sunshine, another is rain,

the third is the roses that bloom in the lane. No need explaining the one remaining, itʼs

somebody I adore. Iʼm looking over a four leaf clover that I overlooked before.

From Barbara Schlachter:

For just such a time as this

Ordinary women are called upon to do

Extraordinary things so that

The grandchildren of the world

(who may be the ones calling)

will have a livable future.

We are called to Resolution, Reconciliation, and Revolution.

We resolve to reconcile the human species with Mother Earth

and to create the Clean Energy Revolution.

We will no longer watch as bystanders and allow

air, water, and land to be exploited and

global temperatures to rise.

We and the Earth have had enough.

We are ready to live simply and actively

so that future generations can experience life as a gift

and everyone can have enough.

To do this there need to be many of us.

Many many grannies.

How could you not join us?
