Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]
Day of Thinking
(Dedicated to a conscious world that recognizes the fragile nature of the Planet Earth – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
[Let us extend the ‘Earth Hour’ on last
Saturday in March to a ‘Day of Thinking’? Ancient people lived thousands of
years co-existing! Let’s rethink! Kolki]
Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a Day only to think!
No work, play, party, news, golf, or (Internet)
surfing!
No chatting, gossiping, socializing, camping, or formal
dining!
Everything is closed and everybody at home just vegetating!
No electricity, gas, gasoline, newspaper or mail
delivery!
No garbage pick up, lawn mowing, cleaning or pruning!
No mining, oil drilling, logging, hunting, boating or
fishing!
No cooking; Just left over, nutty salad, fruits and
dairy!
No car, bus or train running; no ships sailing; no
airplanes flying!
No speed boating, motor-cycling, fitness or aerobic
training!
No television, video game, barbeque or block
gathering!
Civilization stops for a day except emergency caring!
Just to be quiet and enjoy the world around -
Leisurely sitting, walking, gardening, meditating! Listening
to the ground!
Letting the brain unwind in quietness void of human
made sounds!
To review, re-visit, in mind; happenings around year-round!
Watching and feeling Earth rotate around the Sun!
Some will worry about job and economy!
But nothing will happen except world breaths happily!
If God in Bible needed rest after seven (7) Days of
creativity -
Mother Earth needs a day at least once a year for
healing -
To recover from ongoing day to day civilized hostilities!
