-
Some call me nature.
-
Others call me Mother Nature.
-
I’ve been here for over four and a half billion years.
-
22,500 times longer than you.
-
I don’t really need people.
-
But people need me.
-
Yes, your future depends on me.
-
When I thrive, you thrive.
-
When I falter, you falter.
-
Or worse.
-
But I’ve been here for eons.
-
I have fed species greater than you.
-
And I have starved species greater than you.
-
My oceans. My soil.
-
My flowing streams. My forests.
-
They all can take you. Or leave you.
-
How you choose to live each day,
-
whether you regard or disregard me,
-
doesn’t really matter to me.
-
One way. Or the other.
-
Your actions will determine your fate.
-
Not mine. I am nature. I will go on.
-
I am prepared to evolve.
-
Are you?
