EARTHHEART
We Need To Remind
Ourselves Of Something Very
Simple… You Can't Spell Heart
Without All Of Earth.
Today We Want To Remember To Look At Life
Through A Spiritual Lens - Remember
Because Deep Within Us
We Already Know How.
From The Beginning Of
Time We Have Understand And Held As Sacred The Concept Of
Connectedness.
Humankind has not woven the web of
life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to
ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle, 1855
So what does it mean to us?
Obviously one would hope that
we can understand that what we do
matters. But connectedness,
also means renewal.
It means that we can look to the earth to receive our energy – not
just hydro and fossil fuels and
wind and sun but the spiritual
renewal we need each day.
Look outside and see how the earth is
renewing itself. While it looks like it isn’t doing anything – while we think it
has been too cold, or dry – it is suddenly
full of life
Think to yourself if this tree can bring
the bounty of life in the midst of uneven
weather the least you can do .. is
everything on your list. Find the energy
you need for everyday
all around you
We can see the everyday divine if we look at the
life around us through a
spiritual lens.We just need to learn to listen
Climb the mountains and get their good
tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into
trees. The winds will blow their own
freshness into you, and the storms their
energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir
Within the earth around us is the
very mystery of life itself, means that
we understand that sometimes we
must seek protection, shelter, watch for signs of
danger.
Again, this is a gift the world gives to us…for the same is true of all
of our life, in our relationships and
things we give our life to, and everyday
reality, sometimes We must
seek that same shelter, watch for dangers,
weather the storms.
We do not take our energy from
the earth, we are a part of
the energy of the earth.
John Muir wrote: I only went out for a walk and
finally concluded to stay out till
sundown, for going out, I found, was
really going in.
As you live in this world, may you find yourself in the presence of the divine, and know that the
divine is finding its presence
in you.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned
and the last fish been caught will
we realise we cannot eat money.
