We live in our bodies carelessly. Most of us don’t take good care of them. We ignore warnings; we wake up with a disease and then cry, ” Why…Why me?” “What did I do?”

The answer is “nothing!”. We did nothing and that is the true problem. I woke up with Lung Cancer.

As I try to come to terms with what I have done to my body, I ponder other things. As I study to find a non-toxic environment for my lungs, I become aware of many things. Things like the fact that we have given our Planet Lung Cancer.

Have you noticed the things that poison us also poison our Earth and vice versa. Some say Humans are a virus the planet is trying to rid it’s self of. I wonder if the planet is simply suffering from secondhand smoke syndrome? We humans pollute the air and the Earth coughs. Think on it.

When we have cancer a team of Doctors get together and work out a treatment plan. Maybe they should be the ones handling our Planets’ illness. I have also found that we humans, like our families, react in similar ways. Some jump on the treatment train.. they go to treatment with you, make sure you eat right, make sure you take your meds. Then others go into denial.. they won’t talk about it, refuse to accept the truth and act like nothing has changed. Then there are the ones who say they will pray for you. They are good people who mean well. The problem is placed in the hand of someone else. Folks, this problem is one we need to jump on the treatment train and accept that it is real and handle it ourselves. Of course a prayer is a good way to seal the deal, but instead of asking for something, tell what you are doing to hold up your end. I saw the video on my homepage and it all seemed so simple. The fact is….It is simple. We just need to get up off our bottoms and emulate the Hummingbird. You do, what you can!

I know there is a reason I have been spared for however long I have left. I stumbled upon a plan to make the most of that time. At ‘A Hummingbird’ I want to green the desert and help feed a few people through the effort. We have 20 acres. I want to build a house that is nontoxic to the air and myself. I want to heal my land so it can have a better skin. I want to grow food that will not harm it’s flesh or my own. I want to live a life that is nontoxic to my soul. I want to be the Hummingbird that is doing the best it can. The land will benefit, we will learn and our bodies and minds will reap rewards untold. I hope you follow our efforts. I hope you enjoy and learn from them. If you feel the desire to help, you are invited to join us. But please…..everyday….Do what you can wherever you are.Lou
