I believe when we become disconnected from animals, and the natural world, we are broken. We we savage our own home, our own environments, we are doing harm that can never be undone. Today, I remember Mother Earth, she is the mother to all of us, and she is bleeding and calling out to us to honor her.

“As stewards of God’s creation, we are called to make the earth a beautiful garden for the human family. When we destroy our forests, ravage our soil and pollute our seas, we betray that noble calling.”  – Pope Francis, January 2015.

Popel Francis also warned us that nature never forgives. “If you give her a slap, she will give you one, ” he said in a speech.

We see her slapping bak all of the time, it is her way of whispering to us, “pay attention. Keep your promises to me.”
