We can never underestimate this truth: No matter who you are, the biggest thing you do in any day is most often going to be a small act of kindness, decency, or love.

The spirits of the Earth are awake. They are flying through the cloud painted sky. They are swimming beneath the cold water. They are running over the prairies ahead of the storm. They are watching from the forest labyrinth. They are our siblings in creation, our brothers and sisters of the breath. They help us hold the world in balance. They bring us blessings of wisdom and healing. The spirits are awake to us as we must be awake to them, for only together can the song of creation be sung as it was meant to be sung, a chorus echoing through the long canyons of time.

Mother Teresa said the problem is, we draw our family circle too small. Your family is all of humanity, all the animals, all beings on earth. Include them all in your heart. Live with gratitude.

Studies have shown that positive emotions and operating from a place of peace within oneself can lead to a very different experience for the person emitting those emotions and for those around them. At our subatomic level, does the vibrational frequency change the manifestation of physical reality? If so, in what way? We know that when an atom changes its state, it absorbs or emits electromagnetic frequencies, which are responsible for changing its state. Do different states of emotion, perception and feelings result in different electromagnetic frequencies? Yes! This has been proven.

Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.

We have become an impatient species, too busy to let nature replenish itself and too puffed up with our own sense of importance to acknowledge our own dependence on its generosity.

I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the Universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul.

The world is no more than the Beloved’s single face; in the desire of the One to know it’s own beauty, we exist.

Why do humans think
Earth is silent
beneath all that stone and dirt?
Why don’t they hear her as clearly as I do?
The whispers of moonlight,
the summons of sun,
the longing of river
and the shout of thunder.
Earth is not silent.
She speaks in every turning of her axis,
every tilting of her hips,
and in the secrets she shares
with the seasons
and in every tectonic shift.
Earth is not silent.
She speaks through weather
and breathes through forests
and she loves through her trees.
She dances in her the oceans
and she rests in her deserts.
Why do humans think
She is so silent
when she has so much to say?

Physicists now believe that entanglement between particles exists everywhere, all the time, and have recently found shocking evidence that it affects the wider, ‘macroscopic’ world that we inhabit.

Be a kind voice in this broken-hearted world. Give grace, and be ready to receive it. Listen so well that the person you’re with can rest in your loving attention for a moment. Be a light. Be a light. Be a light.

Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power, and to one another, is grounded in love and compassion.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth..
