A World In Need of Renewed Balance~ Earth Day 2018

'The world is a circle without a beginning,

And nobody knows where it really ends

Every thing depends on where you

Are in the circle that never begins

Nobody knows where the circle ends...'

Burt Bacharach/Hal David 1973, from the 'Lost Horizon' soundtrack

Hey everyone! As an inhabitant of this blue marble in the vastness of the universe, my thoughts for our dependence on the well being of the natural world will be strongly with me on this Earth Day... God's creation was pure, perfect and in complete balance, a balance we have managed to disrupt to the point that disturbing tipping points are showing up on so many fronts...and I pray to God that He grant us the wisdom to adjust our course to assure a livable world for coming generations...

It occurred to me today how photography is such a key element in linking people everywhere to a better awareness of the natural world, both it's magnificence and it's current plight...both aspects so overwhelming and compelling! I can only hope that as we chronicle the natural world around us through the lens, it might inspire someone, young or old, to get more involved in the future well being of the planet we all share, in any way they see fit...every positive effort offers a positive result!
Recycle, replenish, conserve...and keep sharing your views of the astonishing, fragile natural world around us!

Have a wonderful Earth Day, everyone...God bless you, and God bless our home!
