Notes From Noah’s Niece
Posted on | August 20, 2010 | No Comments
Hello God??? Remember me — the great-great-great-great (oh you get the picture!) grand-grand-grand-etc-niece of your old pal Noah???
Yes — I got the memo about Climate Change and I clearly remember reading it quite thoroughly. And yes, I have talked about those uncomfortable issues in my books and posts over the years. So it isn’t like rapid shifts in weather patterns are completely unexpected. But could we get a little break here?!?
We’re coming up to that 40 days and 40 nights marker really soon and I have never SEEN so much water here in our part of Australia. Sounds like I am whinging, right? You’re right. (sigh!) I guess it seems a bit indulgent to complain when our country doesn’t have thousands of people missing due to floods, trains falling off bridges as they pass over rivers, and whole villages wiped out.
But it is a bit odd to sit looking out at the paddocks and get the distinct sensation that you are being watched — only to discover that the FBI is out there. No, not that FBI — the “effing big ibis” version of the FBI. We’ve had so much rain now that exotic waterfowl are taking up residence in spontaneously formed ponds in our fields since the clay soil is so saturated that it won’t absorb any more moisture. The wild ducks are no longer restricted to the dam out front — they’re happily playing and splashing all over these 7-plus acres.
And speaking of the dam — (in case you don’t remember the Aussie lingo, God — it’s the large holding pond for watering the livestock) — it has burst its banks and is now higher than the roadside drainage ditch installed by the shire council.
Then there is the gloom factor. Oh yeah — I know about ‘doom and gloom’ since I write books about serious topics. But a FEW rays of sunshine would seriously be appreciated! I’m getting vitamin deficiency from the lack of UV rays.
I have a suggestion, if it’s not too bold to be offering them to the source of Universal Consciousness. Could we perhaps be a bit more even-handed in the distribution of those life-altering elements like rain and hail and wind and earthquakes? Y’know — a few days of them just to shake the humans out of their sense of complacency and then back to what their bodies and brains expect to see as normal?
Just a thought or two from Noah’s Niece Deborah (hoping not to be dodging lightening bolts for presumptuousness!)
