running water - blowing wind...
I posted a nearly identical shot not long ago, but it was off-balance to me, and besides, I was thinking today, about the fact that the only thing constant in our world - is change... The wind blows, the water flows.. if they didn't, we humans wouldn't survive very long..
The wind evens out the temperature so that we don't roast in the sun, or freeze in the shade, the way we would on the moon.. It disperses the oxygen created by the trees all over the globe, and carries carbon dioxide back to them so they they - and we - can survive and nourish each other, plants and animals..
The water runs from where it falls, to the ocean, giving life to everything it touches along the way. It washes the earth clean of every kind of debris - from decaying leaves, to nuclear fallout.. We might not like the time-frame that the earth takes to clean itself - but in the end, it will happen. If wind and rain can carve the Grand Canyon, and grind the Rocky Mountains into sand dunes - then whatever damage we do to it, will only be for a little while to the earth.. Eventually, we will figure out a reasonable, sustainable balance or nature will do it for us - but balance is something that happens. It's one of nature's immutable laws.. And till then, the water will flow - and the wind will blow...
