Threatening our Sweet Spot

12/15/2021

 
Picture
The tornadoes that ripped through the Midwest had the trappings of storms that typically strike at the height of tornado season in the spring. Only this time, disaster came in December. Experts said the storm was shocking in its intensity and timing, and it raises worrisome questions about what extreme weather events may look like in a warming world.
“In the past eleven thousand years we enjoyed a stable climate that allowed us to create agriculture, build towns, launch the Industrial Revolution, and develop technology. It provided us forests, coral reefs, grasslands, temperature, fresh water, and productive soils. But now we are stressing these systems, threatening to push Earth out of its sweet spot.” – Thomas Friedman
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I pray comfort and hope for those who suffered loss in the storm. I pray that responders, medical staff, and community leaders are guided and sourced by Divine strength and instinct. I pray that we as a global community take actions to nurture one another and our environment. May we be visionary, resourceful, and brave. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
