ETHEREAL

Our Mother, Earth.
She is ethereal. 

It is nearly impossible for the word, ethereal to escape ones mouth without meeting beauty in the same description. Our love for ethereal is conceived from its metaphysical urge. It’s intangibility of all things refined, delicate, otherworldly, light and airy add to its celestial allure. To call someone or something ethereal is one of the highest compliments in the philosophy of beauty✨ 

I don’t know why I’m so incredibly passionate about this planet, and its changes. I definitely don’t know why others aren’t.
Wherever I travel, my heart burst open in joy to absorbe and learn as much as possible about the beauty of this new location. But when I go, I’m always surprised how more beautiful the most familiar places in my life have become, my home.
Now I’m a little afraid how many more times I will get to go early summer and there’d still be snow on top of the mountains

We need to accept that climate change is not fictional. We’ve known about it for ages, and have had the opportunity to decrease the damages everyday since we first learned about it. But we haven’t.
We seem to be thinking that its too much of an issue for one person to react and respond to. But it’s not.
I feel Ive seen the right places ticking of alarms every day every year, but people still don’t seem to care?
Why not? 

You need to understand that you can impact climate change, and you can make a change; by starting with your own consumption you have the power to change the path of this, and the power lies in your money - every dollar bill you spend is a part of your voice.
You might be unwillingly be supporting companies/manufactures/corporations who are polluting our seas or chopping down our forest for mining and fossil fuels or kettle space.
If you knew you used a product on the regular who’s manufacturer were responsible for deforestation, for animal species going extinct, for polluting the seas, would you still buy it? 

Awareness is everything. There is nothing stopping us from collecting the information we need. The excuse ‘oh I didn’t know of climate change’ isn’t available anymore. There’s unlimited information by the tips of your fingers 24/7. 

I believe that when people come together and rise towards something, it’s impossible too not succeed.
This is a time for us to come together, to unite in love as one people, one race, on our one home - Planet Earth. That is our only citizenship, our only nationality. We belong to each other, and to the earth. 

I would love for you all to check out ‘Before the Flood’ a          documentary which is collectively, passionately, and        beautifully created by @NatGeo and @LeonardoDiCaprio.
