Yes, today, the 22th of april, it is Earth Day. For me it is about sending grateful thoughts to the air we breath, the sun that gives us energy, and together with rain makes things grow, the earth we walk on and all Mother Nature for giving us life. For without all of this, we could not live. We get our food and all we need in order to survive from the earth. This is also a day on which I ponder over the fact that we are destroying earth. The one thing that keeps us alive - we are killing.

The volcano Eyjafjallajökull recently had an eruption, which I think most people are aware of. we can never predict nature completely, and natures forces will always be stronger than us, and outsmart us. It has been a lot of discussions about the climate changes for quite some time now and must of us probably know, deep inside, that changes are happening due to us. Anywho, I really appreciate earth and like nature and to be outside and I've been thinking alot about this stuff today, since I found out it was earth day.

I did not now the exact date of it but If I am correct, it is now observed every year at the 22th of april.

Google are paying attention to this day :)

So today I have been out on my knees, lowered myself to the level of nature. And photographed it, both living things, some on it's way to blossom, and also dead parts of it. In honour to nature, but not only in a positive way, also as something sad.. because I really am sad of what's becoming of earth. At the same time I do know that we need to take from nature in order to survive, but I think we need to find better ways of doing it and also work more to give something back to nature, help it heal - restore some of what we are taking. And let nature have it's course. We cannot change it or decide how it should work - we are not gods.

And now, for the pictures:

Lyssna och kolla upp texten till låten Mother Earth med Within Temptation också - den är himla fin. Tycker jag i alla fall.
