The Blue Planet

At the beginning were Ouranos the Sky and Gaia the Earth.

They had many children and a multiple descent. Men were among those: children of Heaven and Earth. But soon they forgot their divine origins and inflicted numerous wounds to their mother Earth: she bears the scars all over her body.

Every now and then she shows anger with earthquakes and floods.The sky too, compassionate to Gaia's sufferings, lets the elements go wild once in a while against mankind: tornadoes, hail....

Yet, Men have, to this day, ignored these warnings.

Fortunately though, with the coming of a new era, a few souls have awakened and the third millenium will see the dawn of a new thinking already in gestation, which will come through as:

• - A new respect for nature and the infinite beauties offered to us
• - A respect for all living creatures.
