World Environment Day | A Supplication to Nature
If we be blind, if we turn away from Nature, the garden of the soul,
Nature will turn on us. In place of the songbird, the shrill cry of the
locusts devouring the harvest, the terrible crackling of the blazing
rainforests, the Peatlands smouldering, the seas rising, Cathedrals
flooding, the Siberian forest burning, the Arctic shelf melting, the
great coral reef bleached as the bones of forgotten saints. If we be
blind, fail in our supplication to Nature, species will die, the bee
and the butterfly driven to extinction, milk and honey no longer
flowing, and all of Nature, the garden of the soul, will be nothing
more than an empty husk, the unholy ghost of an abandoned hive.
