The deluge

How can you write about something that so profoundly affects your life. It is like writing about something that hasn't happened yet or like something that has happened , but isn't understood . The blankness of emotion mustn't be misunderstood. It is like the deluge of muddy water has carried away all superficial emotions and just left a deep ache behind .
Is a flood natures way of cleansing you or punishing you ? I do not believe that nature knows punishment but it does know how to cleanse itself , and in cleansing itself it also teaches . What a great teacher nature is . It does not need words . It does not need books . This teacher teaches through floods , earthquakes ,rain and snow . It teaches through volcanoes, hurricanes, glacial meltdown and tsunamis. It expresses through forest fires and dwindling wildlife . It teaches through the harsh words of a disrupted ecosystem . It teaches through death and altered life . It teaches through mutation and creation .
It teaches through all the senses and addresses its teachings to the responsible and the irresponsible in equal measure . It does not discriminate in its knowledge and its expression . It is fair and evaluates fairly . In very simple terms it says ' I am nature ,and I am like the truth. I am a reflection of you and your actions and I cannot be denied '.............
