AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PLANET

Dear Mr. Sun:

We know that you are preparing for the Solstice in just a few days.  We know too that you are calling up everything you have to meet your big day!

We know too that from your vantage point there in the sky you are able to call upon your colleagues to control much of what happens.

As such, we know that you and they are able to observe and react to words and deeds by Earthlings that so easily destroy  life and so much of what you have created.

But I write in the hope that you will accept my explanation  for both.

The unjust acts of terror, like those conducted just a few days ago,  or sometimes daily, are not condoned by me or my colleagues much less others who live on this Planet Earth.

We know that we, by words and deeds, are responsible for the use and abuse of this Planet's environment, its people and all other creatures but we do try to ameliorate  those abuses.

Yet in all deference to your importance Mr. Sun could you give us a hand by influencing others in your realm?

Could you have much needed rain come to us gently not in torrents?

Could you order some clouds and a soft calming breeze to pass over us when it is very hot?

Could you turn the heat down just a bit until the Solstice has passed?

Thank you for for your consideration and keep well as you ensure our own good health.

Beverly Rehfeld,
Earthling
