Guest	In the bleak (globally warmed) midwinter with apologies to C. Rossetti In the bleak midwinter, question blowing in the wind: if the climate’s changing is it cos we have sinned? Global warming’s melted snow, permafrost as well; in the bleak midwinter: floods from hell. Can our greed continue? Will the earth sustain our fossil fuel dependency, CO2 and acid rain? Once the bleak midwinter used to come each year but now we’ve f----- the biosphere we have really no idea. What can I give my children, weak as I am? A world where all can live in peace or one vast traffic jam? Will we heed our wise men, if they show us the way? or carry on as normal and bid farewell to Santa’s sleigh? © Toumai, 2005

From awareness comes change. Loved this ! I've been without a computer, so am just having the opportunity to read and respond to the newer holiday entries. Forgive the delay in commenting.

But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work. For only we can determine if we are to be just another painting or a masterpiece..." 1981 Javan (from the book " Meet Me Halfway" ) MM Award Winner
