To be grateful for the unconditional love Mother Earth holds for us all is the basis for being human. You just need to open your mind a bit more, unveil your heart from the shells of false protection and realise that Mother Earth is your life. Without her, no matter how secure or powerful you are, there is no life for humanity, there is no life for you.
On my many spiritual journeys, at one point, I received the message that no matter what happens, she will survive. It was comforting, even soothing, to know that whatever is destroyed, she will be the last one standing. She is the embodiment of not only love but strength beyond any human construct. However many wars that are fought, and however many natural disasters we will have to endure, she will survive when all humans have perished – or flown to Mars. She is and will always be the basis for our life, and if she is not, it means that we are gone. We are long gone to another dimension where we may start dreaming of having a new opportunity to experience life on a planet as beautiful as our beloved Earth. We may begin to dream with such intensity and bliss that we will be given a second chance. A second chance to start respecting the one person that makes our life beautiful. The one person, yes, believe it or not, she is a living, breathing creature just like you and me.
The other day, I talked to my beloved about Russian dolls, and I was happy to find that we both had a love for these in our childhood. There was something mysterious and true about these dolls; one person containing another, then yet another — a touch of the mystery of life, the micro cosmoses of the macro cosmoses. The universe, in the universes, is a true reality of our existence. There is an ocean of life in our seas; there is a universe in your eye; there are many layers of illusions englobing our visions of ourselves and the concepts of life. But the one illusion that we cannot – and should never – deny is that Mother Earth is the essence of our life as human beings on planet Earth.
Let us all wake up to the respect that we need to embrace for our home, our caregiver, our basis for life. Let the rain wash away your tears, let the wind blow your problems away, let the sun melt your heart, and open yourself to feel the embrace that Mother Earth holds. She is not only holding your feet while you walk to work, or the car you are driving or being driven in. She not only puts all the flavours on your plate. She is not only filling your lungs with air so that you may breathe yet another breath. She is also there for you to soothe you, heal you, and make you aware of the beauty, care and respect a life may hold.
We all share the same planet. Together.
