The Changing Earth

The reason people aren't making the connection between earth changes/climate changes and the environment is because they don't realize the planet is actually a living thing. The reason we have all these "natural" disasters today is because the planet Earth is pissed off....Royally. Think about the disrespect she gets and you can't blame her. She has tried shaking us off like a horse bucking it's rider, that would be earthquakes. And when that worked minimally, she tried to burn your ass with fire, that would be active volcanoes, and wildfires. We could say a few tornadoes and hurricanes may be her letting off a little "hot air". I won't even mention the "T" word, you know, the big wave, we all know what that did and it's way too painful. The point is, she's a lot bigger than us, and has a lot more energy. I've been through my share of natural disasters and I'm telling you it's scary what she can do. She's tired of the disrespect and we need to start being really nice to her.

I believe if we first estabished and accepted the fact the planet is alive, she would be treated a lot better. Look out the window. You see those trees, and flowers and grass? (I'm assuming you actually have some kind of shrubbery outside your window, if not, this would be a fantastic time to plant a tree.) When you see all the life growing out there notice the connectedness of things, the life that's extended from the Earth, it's our supply of food and oxygen and everything good. It's our lifeline. The whole planet is part of the food chain. Take a deep breathe, take it all in and feel the vastness of it all and our role in it. This is a great grounding meditation. So now what? "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." This works for all living things including mother earth, even if you're not Christian, some call it Karma. And if you believe the karmic grid is broken, it's just the right thing to do. Anyway, if every living thing is connected, when you do unto others you ARE doing onto yourself. Wow, that's really deep.

Until another day, peace and love...
