Today's MOZEN: EARTH DAY 2021

All words and photos by F LoBuono/Sojouner Photography

Today is EARTH DAY, when we are encouraged to spend even just a few moments honoring our mother, i.e. The Mother of All Mothers - Earth.

Unfortunately, there are millions of our fellow earthlings who find the day a complete waste of time - if they think about it at all. They are so rapped up in the own small worlds that they don't make the connection that, in fact, there is only one. And, it belongs to ALL of us.

So, why Earth Day?

Well, I'll answer that question with another: why not?

Because if we don't, and sooner rather than later, these will be just some of the more dire consequences - 

1. No clean water to drink.

2. No clean air to breath.

3. No land to farm.

4. No safe food to eat.

5. No dry places to live.

And, there will be more. But, let's face it, without what I have just listed, does it really matter?

So, today of all days, just take a moment to consider just how precious, and ultimately fragile, our planet truly is. It's the only one we have. And, if we don't cherish her, we will suffer the consequences.

Let's not let that happen.

Do whatever you can to make the world a better place for ALL who inhabit it. It doesn't have to be a great gesture. Even a small one like picking up some trash left behind by someone other than yourself and placing it where it can be recycled helps. If EVERYONE did just one, little thing the effect would be massive.

Do it for yourself. Do it for everyone.
