Birthing is part of the evolutional process of living a human life because life is a highly functional system of ongoing change. Without realizing it, life is a constant machine of birthing. A flower opens and blooms, gives us scents and floral beauty, to only soon die in the cycle of life. Puppies become dogs, daughters become mothers and boys become fathers. The birthing of the moon is the birthing of night dreams and in daylight dreams become reality.
Because life is a journey of birthing and dying. Life is produced from a birthing experience of that requires a gestation period of time for expansion and realization, all done with the patience and wisdom for the allowance for the process of living to unfold. A birthing connotes the coming of change, a systematic, step by step journey of renewal as well as survival, a relationship of support of life and death. We are the flower that blooms, leaves a fragrance in a room, and soon dies. We experience the breath of life in the breathing of life.
It is a partnership, a contract to be present each time we breathe a breath. Each breath is shared simultaneously by the entire world and inhaled by the very same people. The timing may be staggered, but the environment of air is shared by all of us. We share the land, the water, natural resources, the animals and the borders that unite us.
To conceive and raise a child to live and die in the life cycle is a commitment. When that child is birthed, you are filled with hopes this child will live a protected life, be nurtured with love, honored with healthy food for strength and a strong heart to distribute care. The hopes and dreams are birthed from the moment conception and the birthing of the child is realized. You want the birth of life to breath faithfully within your child, your future. You want the child to experience a better world than yourself, a more honored life than you. The dreams of a better life is the breath of your dreams of evolution. You want your child to drink clean water, see bluer skies and breathe better air daily, as a way of life.
We are out of balance, politically, as a human society, and as a caretaker of this planet.

In each and every step of the child’s life you are walking beside them, trying to guide them to a place of understanding and safety. You want them to be able to weather any storm that might come their way. You just pray for good weather and the sunshine of another day.
Weather is the living metaphor of change. The change of the weather is a language spoken to the inhabitants, the people of this planet, a language that needs to be listened to before we exhaust the resources of this planet. There are consequences to this behavior, because climate change is occurring. The activities of the people of this planet are producing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. The burning of fossil fuels and the burning of our forests intensify the greenhouse effect, which creates global warming.
“Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on the rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.”

It is vital that we recognize the patterns of change, the law and order of the game of life. As I see it, we are in need of a new contract being signed to partner with the planet. We should understand the realities of the new contract we are signing as we deplete the resources of our planet. We are supported by the planet and in due respect, we need to support the planet. We need to be able to utilize the resources without continuing the depleting. We need to establish a sustainable method of living on this planet to assure the continual life of this planet. It is time for us to change our behavior in the matter of supporting the longevity of our planet, protecting our resources and a healthier environment for ourselves as human beings.
In these modern moments, we are not having good weather. We are experiencing the heat of global warming. We are out of balance, politically, as a human society, and as a caretaker of this planet. This is a time for change of all the above. We need to find balance and support for the people of our country and not just serve the corporate portion of our society. We need, when possible, first and foremost, support the all of the individuals living in our country. And, last but not least, we need protect, honor and utilize our planet with dignity and discretion.
We as a people are at a time of pivotal time in history, an important transition as a society. We have a choice to support ourselves as a planet and a united people or a choice of gutting the earth in a temporal gain of money. We have to look at the evolutionary aspect of the life expectancy of the people on the planet and the life expectancy and evolution of the planet itself. We have to claim the most positive plan of action for the future of the earth’s children, us.
I claim the importance and the spirit of change to secure the balance of our planet’s atmosphere. I claim the right to life for all of its people. I claim life for this planet through the spirit of change in this continuous birthing of our life cycle. I claim and honor the journey, the process of life.
