Son of Thunder
By John Brannon
On this Earth Day plus one, let us take the time
to praise the giver of life, the faithful resource, the ever-present
god of this world, our mother Earth. For without our mother, we would
be left as newborn babes to seek out our own survival. Without our
mother, we would surely fall along the shores of the stormy sea that
is survival of the fittest. Without our mother, we would be nothing.
Let us not forget the error of our forefathers who prayed to some
faraway god. Let us not squabble about right and wrong, appealing
to a god that we cannot see. Instead, let us pray to the god who
is everywhere—in the wind as it blows, in the grass as it grows,
in the vegetation upon which we feed, in birds of the air that sing
from the trees, in the lion as it roars, in my grandpa as he snores,
in the water that gives us life and in the fruit when it is ripe.More>>
