OK, God, I can understand Your being pissed at us an all. Mankind's track record has been less than stellar to say the least. We have betrayed the trust that was put in us and squandered our gifts like spoiled children who never have enough. I fear to imagine Your frustration with us!
We are at war with the nature You have given us, loving it on one hand while destroying it with the other. But that duality has its time then it has time no more. Only Love is real and the Order of the Universe will preside in the End. Thank God!
We have sought "glory" in death even as we learned more and more of its futility. We claim the Age of Reason even as we reject reason as unreasonable. What is a warlord in the eyes of God? What will we cherish when there's war no more?
And yet, even amidst all our chaos and pain and ruin lay the beauty of nature, surrounding us, enveloping our tears and granting another chance to our madness. But though we may visit this earth many times, there's only one life to be had and nature can give only so much. Then madness becomes self-consuming.
So is it from ourselves we seek solace? To become one with that which exists outside of time? To realize the infinity of space and the infinity of a blooming flower? We seek, therefore we ask. But one shall not receive that to which one is not open.
Our beloved Japans once locked away her heart even though she was unique in all the world, carrying both East and West in her heart. A small island in land mass, a great presence in the world. But I do not ask You to save it because its people are either good or bad. No there is only one reason I ask You to save it...
I ask You to save it because it's the Japans!
