Maybe what's happening is that we have forgotten that the earth is plentiful and stopped taking care of her. How we forgot is by not honoring what we get from the earth - being consumers more than care takers.
To feel abundance does not include being wasteful. And we forget that too. If you like something, you don't deplete it, you take care of it.
If you have a golden goose laying golden eggs, you don't kill the goose or then you don't have golden eggs.
The source of abundance needs taking care of, in other words. If we don't take care of the source of abundance, we waste and are not really befitting from the abundance, but taking advantage of this abundance. I think the earth responds to waste by kind of looking like there isn't enough of something we would need to continue living here. perhaps... |
