Dear Mother Earth,
I am sorry. I am sorry we put financial gain ahead of you. I am sorry we ignore your warnings that you are not well. I am sorry we are making you sick. Sometimes you have a fever. Sometimes it's a chill. Those who understand, call it climate change. Those who don't, say you're fine and just faking it, and that you've been faking it off and on since the world began, a mere 6,000 years ago.
I just want to tell you that you are lovely still, and that as I flew above you last week, leaving a trail of noxious gases, I saw your loveliness and marvelled at it.

| Mount Hood is lovely. My compliments. |
 |
Sometimes you surprise us, as you go from mountains
to flat land, in a flash. |
 |
| Sometimes, we try to work with you. |
 |
| Sometimes, we don't. . |
 |
| You are lovely, you know. |
 |
| And I hope your story has a happy ending ... |
