Yes I agree Sherry. Surely seeing what is happening in Europe right now should wake up more people. Europe has always been way ahead of us in the US with EVs, Wind Energy, Recycling and so on.

Thank you dear Sanaa. It actually started as a metaphor when I began with the idea but then I saw the fires in the UK and across Europe and I knew it had to be about Nature’s plight 😢

Nature cries out in this powerful write. This made me pause…. “regurgitating denialism” and the last line stings.. as it should.
Thank you so much Mish. I appreciate your kind words ☺️💕
