Everything Happens for the Best!

For the better part of my life, I have tried to live by this tenet: Everything happens for the Best, even when it feels like Hell.

I feel so sad and powerless, watching what is happening to the helpless animals, caught in this manmade disaster, by BPOil in the Gulf of Mexico. Covered by this poisonous oil, they sit or swim in it and look stunned and lost...and of course they are dying by an unknown number...pelicans, fish, whales&dophins and the fauna whatever lives and thrives in the Gulf Of Mexico is being suffocated, killed.

And the wetlands, the coast line, the fisheries, the livelihoods of thousands are and will be affected.

As a young girl, I spent many Summers, with my family, fishing, and playing on the beaches in Galveston and Corpus Christi. It makes me so sad and angry to know that things will change there.

I want to hit somebody. I want the Men, who are responsible for this Horrendous assault on our Planet, Mother Earth, to be held accountable and punished, severely.

And then I, also, feel guilty, because I drive a car. I am unable to ride a bicycle and walking is not that easy with osteoarthritis in my knee joints.

Greed and politics are responsible for this BPOilDisaster. In Spanish, there is a saying: se le eiso muy facile... it seemed so easy or simple to just go ahead and do what they did, knowing that there would/could be serious consequences, if something went wrong. With impunity, it seems, they proceeded, without safe-guards because they were too costly, I read.

All I can do is continue to implore Pres Barack Obama and the Congress to do what they can to stop this flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, ASAP.

And I can pray for a Miracle..that what is happening be stopped SOON... And let the BEST make itself Known...

For this I Pray.
