via Climate Change Health Risk Is a ‘Medical Emergency,’ Experts Warn.

The world is changing.  Possibly ending.  For us. Sentient human beings.  Everyday my little life seems to be running away from me like wild horses over the hills.  My children are so magical to me.  They make me at once make me feel elated with joy and lost in despair.

My 6 year old son asked me yesterday. “Can you remember people when you die?”

“Why do you ask such things?” I try to avoid his question.

“Because,” he says, his voice quivering, lip trembling, ” I don’t want to forget you when I die”.

I held him tight so that he wouldn’t see me cry and said “Yes, you remember everything.” I’m not particularly religious but I do believe in spirituality.  I believe God is humanity in its most humane form.  I believe in trying your best to be good as much as you can.  So because of this, I can tell him, without feeling at all like I’m lying or misleading him, that there is a God, that we become spirits when we die and that we evolved from apes and need to also take care of the air, land and water that we live on and believe in science.

Pope Francis is wonderful.  It feels so good to say that.  I feel so proud that he has been the most powerful person to actually admit that climate change is real and that we have brought it upon the earth because of our human ways.  NOT our humane ways, which make us more god-like, not by sharing and caring for other human beings and acting out of love for others.  But because of our disgusting human ways of always wanting more and bigger for ourselves, with no mind on those around us that are going without.  It’s the Pope who is finally saying society is going in the wrong direction.  I just felt so relieved that someone else said it, it wasn’t just me thinking it.  Whatever happens now, I’m finally vindicated.  For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Your Holiness.

My 3 year old daughter sight read the word “restaurant” from across a parking lot today.  Far as I know nobody specifically taught her how to read that word.  She was staring out the window of the car as I parked and she said  “what’s a restaurant?”  I looked up and saw her staring at a DQ and there it was the word “restaurant”. I was in shock but I asked her, ” Why, do you see the word restaurant somewhere?”  and she smiled and yelled, “right there” and pointed at the DQ.  WHOA.
