love the unknown

Recently a lot of people have been blogging -- especially about the wildfire. They blog in a sense of fear, but it's a different kind of fear. While fear comes along with concern for our loved ones, we act as if we are scared of nature. I've come to realize that we are not one with Nature. We try to destroy it, terminate it, attack it, force ourselves onto it, rape it but Nature will always be stronger. There is no way to beat it, but we've developed so many different forms of technology which can help us learn what it is our planet is and will do, and what we can do to work with it. So fear not.

Fear has now the meaning of all lost hope. Why are we in despair?

Sure, it's a lot easier for me to say (that's probably what you're thinking since I don't live right by the hills which are burning), but I offer you the idea that your land will prosper after this fire. What was once dry and ready to ignite and act as fuel to these flames will once again fertilize itself, and the hills you see glowing red will transform a vibrant green.

You think this is bad, but many people don't realize what is coming up against us. We've got a big earthquake on the way, and if the earthquake is big enough, a tsunami will hit washington and northern california's coast. Yes, many will be hurt then too.. We will never beat Nature, and while it is sad to lose someone you love to these natural disasters, it's all one huge gamble. The best thing to do is to be prepared, to stay calm, and hope. For if you lose all your belongings, your property, the sentimental value, you'll be provided with the foundation to build a sturdy life and home again.

Hope.
