Lately, I have been thinking a lot about this "patient" and my concern overwhelms me. This patient is so ill that its symptoms are raging and seemingly out of control. This patient is not human however. The patient I refer to is our sick Mother Earth. We hear of recent disasters like the devastating Japan tsunami and suddenly we are reminded of just how ill the earth is. Dirty air, global warming, polluted waters, and toxic wastes are just a few of the maladies of our very sick earth. In the same analogy, if I were approached as a doctor to resolve this condition, I would be in a quandary as to what to do.
