Thank God My Brakes Were Working

As I was driving to work this morning, a bit tired and drowsy, however, under the speed limit, two cars suddenly stopped in an area where cars do not usually stop. I swerved my car to the left, checking my mirror and luckily, I was able to avoid hitting them. Nonetheless, they took advantage of my move and followed. They just needed to get to the other side, not just one lane but two lanes across. My heart almost stopped when another car in front of me came to a full stop. I stepped on my brakes and said a little prayer. My car swerved to the left a bit, but I managed to control it. Thank God. The driver who caused all of this went by, stuck his hand out the window in a sign of apology. Meanwhile I was cursing and being grateful at the same time, if that is even doable.

This definitely woke me up.

Wake Up People!!!

Wake Up People!!!

 

This morning when I stopped at the station for gas, there was a young man complaining about the rain. While I was grateful for the rain, he wasn´t, which is ok. However, it made me wonder whether or not this young man was aware of the times we are living and how important the rain is. We are going through a dry spell and 60% of the country is burning. Criminal wildfires have been ignited and due to the drought in some areas, literally the country is burning up and this huge metropolis is suffering from the ashes that are polluting our air.

Perhaps looking outside the box, we can see that while our country is in flames, the rest of the world is also fighting against some natural disaster.

In Europe, it isn´t even fall yet and there are some places where it is snowing. While in other areas there are floods.   In Taiwan, a powerful Typhoon. Earthquakes in Japan. In Brazil, high temperatures during the winter. (I will not list all of them for I am getting blue…)

Wake up people! Earth is sick and it is getting rid of its biggest disease – us humans!

What kind of future will our children have. Let´s take care of the planet it has given us so much beauty, water, fresh air. Mother Nature is tired. It pains me to see so much devastation. There is still time to reverse this situation. Or is there?
