We’re really not religious people. But, we’ve had to admit that the amazing, awe inspiring natural beauty we’ve encountered so far on this trip creates more than a little suspicion about the existence of the divine. And the wrath. Here are some of the storms we’ve seen roll in since we’ve arrived on Koh Lipe.
AWESOME!!!
I like this issue of your blog best, so far. How much would I have to pay for one of those old wooden cutter boats? I wonder, live-aboard???
I don’t know about the divine. I do know,though, that there is no wrath in nature! Interpreting nature’s changes as wrath, assault, evil, aggressive – or just ascribing intention to her movements – is one of the tools that humans use to discredit “her”. It contributes to our tendency to believe that “she” is out to get us somehow; therefore, she must be overcome, overpowered, held in check. This mentality produces lousy envionmentalists. AAAAA….MEEENN.
The “wrath” part was really just wordplay, but yes, it’s not a vengeful nature. As for the possible divine, though, I think that if you attribute happenings to such things, there’s plenty of evidence of wrath in the world.
Joe, you missed your calling–never to late to become an evangelist
At least you got the her part right :-0:-0
HA. This “dad” is Jess C’s dad. Dad (Jerry) meet Darla, Darla meet Dad.
A-mazing.
