Here are some poems and words of wisdom that show how important I feel it is to take time out for Mother Earth, I hope you enjoy them, and that they encourage you to think about our environment a little bit more.
Spirit of love
That flows against our flesh, Sets it trembling
Moves across it as across grass
Erasing every boundary that we accept
And swings the doors of our lives wide —
This is a prayer I sing: Save our perishing earth!
That flows against our flesh, Sets it trembling
Moves across it as across grass
Erasing every boundary that we accept
And swings the doors of our lives wide —
This is a prayer I sing: Save our perishing earth!
Spirit that cracks our single selves —
Eyes fall down eyes,
Hearts escape through the bars of our ribs
To dart into other bodies —
Save this earth!
The earth is perishing. This is a prayer I sing.
Eyes fall down eyes,
Hearts escape through the bars of our ribs
To dart into other bodies —
Save this earth!
The earth is perishing. This is a prayer I sing.
Spirit that hears each one of us,
Hears all that is —
Listens, listens, hears us out —
Inspire us now!
Our own pulse beats in every stranger's throat,
And also there within the flowered ground beneath
our feet,
And — teach us to listen! —
We can hear it in water, in wood, and even in stone.
We are earth of this earth, and we are bone of its bone.
This is a prayer I sing, for we have forgotten this and so
The earth is perishing.
Hears all that is —
Listens, listens, hears us out —
Inspire us now!
Our own pulse beats in every stranger's throat,
And also there within the flowered ground beneath
our feet,
And — teach us to listen! —
We can hear it in water, in wood, and even in stone.
We are earth of this earth, and we are bone of its bone.
This is a prayer I sing, for we have forgotten this and so
The earth is perishing.
Barbara Deming
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is good to have an end to journey toward
but it is the journey that matters,
in the end.
Ursula Le Guin

Each day I greet the
world with joy,
The sky and sun, the birds and beasts,
The oceans and the trees,
For everyday when I awake,
The wonders of the world are there,
Their beauty greeting me.
TODAY is the day I start to give back to the world
