At A Loss

I am at a loss...

I read this article today off of the daily news feed I get called the UN Wire. The article details how scientists from 16 major economies around the world are meeting in Denmark, trying to figure out what to do about the loss of coral life. The climate in the ocean is now changing so quickly that it is not anticipated that coral has any chance of surviving on this planet. Scientists are now working on a plan to freeze coral in nitrogen to be reintroduced to the oceans after climate is stabilized.

What to say really... I am so very sad. So sad to hear of the destruction of nature. In my opinion, nature is so much more fantastically beautiful than anything people have made. That says a lot, because I am an artist. I have studied art, and I make art. It is my business to make beauty and yet I find there is nothing so lovely as what God made.

We are all at a loss-a loss of something beautiful to be equalled no where else.
Our children are at a loss- They will not have the opportunity to see the coral reefs we took for granted.
I am at a loss- How do you greave for a loss so great that you cannot fathom it's consequences?
The millions who depend on the coral reefs for food are at a loss.

So, I guess I'll keep riding. Even if I was the only one. I'll keep learning to live more simply. Even if I feel like I'm walking up river. Maybe I'll make some sad art.
