Mother Nature

Dear Mother Nature. I love you. I really do. You provide us with the sustenance that keeps us alive, the natural beauty that surrounds us, the sun that warms the earth. I respect you for that. I do. Please note, that I can't speak for everyone on this matter...only myself. But. We have had enough arctic temperatures and snow on this planet. Please go easier on us. Don't get me wrong. I do love the snow, and the cold...to a point. But, this year you've outdone yourself. Please turn some of that snow into rain and drench the western part of this country. Their drought is horrendous. Okay. I know we haven't been behaving ourselves over the past thousand years or so, so I'm guessing this is payback for all of our polluting ways, our wanton acts of destruction on this beautiful planet, and our complete disregard for your beautiful work. I, myself, am SO sorry. I'm trying to change, and do the right thing. However, the powers-that-be, worldwide do not wish to cooperate. I write letters, call my lawmakers, sign petitions, and try to live with the smallest possible carbon footprint. But. That is hard without the help of all of the inhabitants of this country and the planet. I understand your frustration. I really don't blame you. I believe change will come. It is taking the moronic humans on this planet a long time to figure out that we've screwed up. I know this apology is lame, given the magnitude of your suffering, but please. Thirty-two degrees would be nice right now. Rain in areas plagued with drought would adore some precipitation. Again. I'm sorry. Forgive me.
