Thelma: The wonders of Earth are all around. Seldom do we experience her beauty and fury or notice the changing landscape unless we are tossed by storms, hurricanes, or tornadoes. The heat on Earth intensifies, and we seek shelter indoors to protect ourselves. Plants and trees continue to grow despite the harsh environment. We can do the same if we choose to move forward and flow with inner strength, the inner Christ light that resides within.
