Inspired Eco-Evolutionaries…we are braided together through communion with the planet, our beautiful earth.
I have spent most of my time on this planet barely noticing how the wind blows through the trees, making them dance in beauty and light. I have spent many a day in daylight barely noticing the ebb and flow of insects, birds, animals and the smallest of creatures that make the soil rich and enriched. I have spent hours burning the hot coals of ancient trees without regard for the blessings of the tree that brought heat and warmth into my mountain home. I have spent many days ignoring the intrinsic beauty that surrounds me in awake and un-awakened hours. And in my defense, I was numb. I was asleep, I was unaware. I was dissolved into a world called humanity.
In a commitment to staying awake, I became a partner with this beautiful place we call earth. I became committed to finding sacred space to engage in prayer, deep inner listening, heart felt sacred time and when possible ritual and celebration. I became committed to sharing a new kind of experience of this beautiful and sacred place. I became committed to helping humanity open up to a different type of relationship with the planet. A relationship that embraces the depths of spiritual introspection through our prayers and the way we speak to and about this planet. I became acutely aware that our words, thoughts and actions were in serious need of a new vision that embraces the notion of a world that is kind, loving and empathetic to the earth and her restoration. Our spirits live in this world. Our hearts live on this planet. The least we can do is make a shift in our own participation in the evolution of her soul and spirit.
I encourage anyone who wants to make changes for this planet to begin with how we see the planet, how we speak about the planet and how we act about the planet. The future is being created in this moment and we need to actively choose how we become accountable for the truths we speak and the stories we tell about her, now and for all time. We are responsible for the”restorying” of this planet. We have a deep responsibility to speak wisely and consciously about her in everything we do and say.
Our words matter. Our thoughts matter. Our actions matter. How we respond to the evolution of this planet is our responsibility.
I wish you great care and concern for the evolution of this planet and celebrate your awakening to the greater call of the earth in her evolution.
