Brown earth
Blue planet
We tinker
At our peril
Few things in this world are black and white, except magpies.

so true, unfortunately i think we have tinkered too much already!!
ReplyDeleteand yet we have and do...and sadly far too much...
ReplyDeletewe certainly tinker with far too much- we outta mind our own lives and not mess with Mother Nature .............
ReplyDeleteOh, I couldn't agree more on this. Our peril is already signed, sealed, and soon to be delivered too, I feel. Well said!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.

Your well-compressed bit is well-written and really fits the image. Yet I believe we've been called to "tinker" with earth; that the plants and animals and minerals are there for us to use carefully, for God's glory. Without what's called the green revolution in agriculture, I don't think the earth could sustain as many people as it does currently.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim for visiting. Your comments are always welcome and this one offers the opportunity to ask: "If we mine, deforest, wipe out species and pollute basically so we can feed more people for now, where do we stop? How many more billions is OK? If the answer is 'It is all in God's plan for us', God help us!
DeleteThe millions who live on a dollar a day - is God's Earth really sustaining them. Good you make us think, Stafford.
DeletePowerfully succinct!
ReplyDeleteWonderful words to describe the human made disaster that is getting closer.
ReplyDeleteOminous words.
ReplyDeleteOnly a few words but a great comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat colour pearl....? I've some pretty pink ones. Oh, peril......I see what you mean.......we certainly do!
ReplyDeleteExcellent message, Ford.
ReplyDeleteSpot on!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Heading in this direction - so you.
ReplyDeleteTinker is the word.....great message in this Stafford!!
ReplyDeleteSo few words say so much!
ReplyDeleteGod gave man responsibility, and as you point out man hasn't behaved very responsibly. unfortunately that applies to both sides of the issue.
ReplyDeleteHomo Sapiens-Thinking Man. Must find a more apt name for the species. Any ideas?
DeleteVery clearly expressed. Gave me a little clutch of fear. At our peril. At our peril......
ReplyDeleteGood one mate, it just dawned on me that its blue from outer space because its mostly water, which makes us on land even less significant ! The wales and dolphins have no doubt seen all this s**t before !
ReplyDeleteTrue that. And yet, we continue...
