Chris:
Thanks for letting us know what¹s particularly heartbreaking to me is that
wildlife and animals who have played no part in the human actions that have
lead to this are now suffering.
My heart goes out to the Australian bioterrain and all humans and other
creatures in it. May a cooling down occur...
love,
Alison
Chris,
I cannot imagine those temperatures. On the other side of the Pacific we too
are having an unusually warm summer and the rains we are experiencing in the
highlands of Peru are torrential and record breaking. Our beloved planet is
letting us know of the years of abuse that we have subjected her to. Time to
take action and to treat her with the respect and love she merits.
You, your family, friends and loved ones shall be in my prayers during these
times.
Fondly,
Stephen

Me and my family and friends, we all are terified by these news about
Victoria.
It was in today news that this record temperature is 47 C.
A few days ago we received e-mail with photos of young wild coala who, in
these hot days, came as a stranger to a house and went to a bowl with water
to cool down, and drunk water (as everybody knows coalas don't drink water
and don't go to the water, and don't go to the houses).
Our best wishes and spirit messages to all life in danger in Victoria

Yesterday in my home town we had the hottest day on record. It was
unbearable. When you went outside it was so hot it was difficult to
breathe
There are still terrible bushfires burning. They are the worst bush >>>
fires
we
have ever had. So far 66 people are dead and we expect the death toll
will
rise to well above 100. Far more have suffered horrendous burns. Over
700
homes have been destroyed. Whole townships have been razed as if they
were
carpet bombed. God knows how many animals kangaroos, possums, koalas,
cattle
and sheep have been killed and injured. I saw images on the television
of
kangaroos jumping away from the flames as fast as they could in these
searing conditions. They must have been exhausted and dehydrated if they
ever made it to safety.
And at the same time as all this, I was facilitating a constellation
workshop. Some participants had their own homes directly threatened.
Everyone knew someone in danger or directly affected. The premier of our
state of Victoria cried on television. The prime minister took a grown
man
into his arms who was sobbing. Australians usually bear crisis with
defiant
good humour. This was different.
This was our hurricane Katrina. I am afraid we all more and more
vulnerable
to extreme weather events like this with global warming. Please send us
your
good wishes. God knows we need them.
hasta la vista
