Guernica is how the Bear is feeling in the aftermath of the US 2024 presidential elections. Everything she loves is being SMASHED! She doesn’t know yet if she can pull in her heart. However, she is a fighter so she may find a way to scrap herself together though she is worried for her friends…
In anticipation of Halloween the Blue-eyed Bear and friends are getting ready for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin! In this world of climate crisis the Bear thinks Linus Van Pelt, the Pumpkin Profit, may adjust his theology a bit and lose the idea that the Great Pumpkin will bringing toys to good children (too commercial). A focus on the Great Pumpkin’s need for sincerity from each of us to do the hard work to care for this Pumpkin Patch Earth is best. With sincerity the Great Pumpkin will surely continue to rise!
In homage to Charles M. Schulz who started it all!
The Blue-eyed Bear encounters the Burning Bush aka YHWH as part of her canvassing all the many aspects of God for help with finding a safe home for herself and all creatures great and small in this time of Climate Crisis. The Bear acknowledges the promise of YHWH’s covenant with all Creatures in which YHWH loves and takes great delight (Job chap.38-39). The Bear prays: “Please give humans the capacity to see all creatures through the eyes of God so that each may find their true place as part of the
beloved multitude!”
What can anyone do to stop this climate crisis? One way is to be aware of your environment and what can be lost though the environmental degradation that comes this crisis. Yes, the Blue-eyed Bear and his polar friends are loosing their home, but in so many ways, large and small, people are too. We have all seen the terrible floods, drought, and fires that are devistating parts of the US, Austrailia, Pakistan, and Europe, and, and, and. But have you noticed, here in Texas where the Bear is now, how there are fewer insects during this summer’s drought. Few insects means its harder for birds to make a living. Fewer birds mean less beauty and song in the world. The iconic Monarch butterfly and all butterflies are becoming endangered. The Bear asks, will humans notice when they’re gone? What can we do lessen the pressure on these beauties? Stop using broadcast pesticides on home and lawn. Spot treat only if you have too. Accept a few weeds in the lawn; they’re just as green as a carpet of grass. Plant flowers as food for our insect friends! Provide feed and water for the birds during times of drought. Make a beautiful world!
The Blue-eyed Bear feels that no humans will listen to her warnings about the climate crisis the world is facing. So she is taking a lesson from St. Anthony of Padua, a Franciscan priest, who preached to the fishes when no humans would listen. Miracle of miracles, the fishes listened and were saved!
The Blue-Eyed Bear points a claw at all Humans because only they (YOU) can stop this Climate Crisis!!!!! Become informed, speak out, make small changes, and make big changes. Vote as if lives depended on it, cause they do!!!!! Australia will never be the same; its biosphere will be much diminished and similar loss is coming to your neighborhood, if it isn’t there already. So don’t get too comfortable or think you’re immune. Fire, flood, pollution, food shortages, homelessness are coming for you!
P.S. Thank you to all who are trying to make a difference.
Swimming North with the aid of Friends
The Blue-eyed Bear and Koala are swimming north along the east coast of Australia. The bear wants to get the Koala to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, but that’s way north of Sydney. So the B-E Bear has enlisted the help of a few of her friends that frequent the Aussie coast. Every now and then the Humpbacks give the bear a boost.
The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital is treating burned and dehydrated Koalas and has raised over $ 2 million through a go fund me site. The money is being spent for watering stations for Koalas and other wild life. And once the crisis abates they may start a captive breading center for Koalas. The B-E Bear says “all of you humans are responsible for this, so start the change that is need to fix it now”.
Blue-eyed Bear says “time to move Koala”!!!
The B-E Bear wants to help, but the fires in Australia seem way beyond anything the bear can do in this climate armageddon.
No where to go?!
Run for the ocean you two, run, run, run!!!! The B-E Bear can swim even if the Koala can’t! Will they make it??? Stay tuned.
