While Heaven Thaws

You know when Hell freezes over? I have seen a couple of things lately that turn that trope outside in. 

If you missed TVO's broadcast of The Agenda on Thawing Permafrost, you can catch it online HERE

And then Just Have a Think about The Doomsday Glacier

While Heaven Thaws (Youtube video)

Imagination soars on anxious wings
to forests, mountains, oceans, arctic snow,
distressed and damaged, as we surely know,
by ignorant ambitious carelessness.

Don't be disheartened..
Have no fear,
no grief, no anger nor denial. No...
Just breathe,
inhaling peace, 
exhaling thanks 
for living on this life-sustaining globe
unmatched for beauty through the universe.

So, loving planet Earth, though bruised and sore,
might we Belong with those who care, and strive
to make this fragile heaven last awhile,
a moment more,
a hopeful year,
a parent's promise in an infant's ear,
perhaps a brief eternity.

Don't be disheartened, nor afraid nor vexed.
We have a say in what will happen next
while heaven thaws.

    I like the positive tone of this poem. It is very encouraging. We can make a difference! Progress is being made! Stressing “ loving our planet” appeals and motivates us more than dire news that leaves us feeling hopeless.
