In Harmony...???

Stormy Weather. Amazing what respect Mother Nature can get while she swirls around outside my window. One of few things man can never control will be the weather and actions of nature. I remember last year as the volcano on Iceland hit big time and most of the airline traffic was held back due to the ash clouds. Interesting to watch peoples reactions. So many people were pissed off, and well somehow it can be understandable in some cases if you have made plans and then things did not work out the way you wanted. But then again...hey...haven´t we lived long enough to know that everything changes???
But the worse thing was, people were seriously pissed off at the airlines....I mean, what could they do? move the cloud? Don´t think so......Fly anyway? well yeah....and if anything bad would happen take the shit afterwards? Nope..not an option.  So, we just had to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
I had to cancel a trip.....but apart from that..I kinda liked it, and I hope It got at least some people to think of how vulnerable we are, once Mother Nature hits..... It was mainly an economical catastrophe for  the companies, but no lives were taken...like when the Tsunami hit bad a few yeas back.....or Katrina....or the terrible floodings and and fires in Australia...or...or...or....
It´s time to start to treat Nature with respect again, as we once did, loooong time ago.....Maybe learn from the elders and the native people instead of ruin them?? Live in harmony with Nature...is that but a dream in 2011???
