A Prayer a Day
11/14/11

There is nothing superficial about our relationship
with mother nature and there is nothing about mother nature that we are not affecting or being affected by, every moment of our lives.

We must thoughtfully consider our actions with this grand life force, that we are meant to be responsibly sharing along with all other living beings.

We are not the only ones who need clean air 

and fresh water and the room to grow 

and thrive in freedom.

Though humanity seems to be insisting on being the one in charge, possessing more and more space, and creating more and more material “stuff”
that in the long run will be proven 

to matter least of all.

Inevitably, we each shall depart 

this reality without worldly goods.

We shall leave this blue planet as we arrived, 

empty handed and naked.

Pray that we shall release the wanting 

of what we do not need.

Pray that we shall recognize the value and purpose
that has us cohabiting this earth with so many other species.

Let us walk more gently, that our footprints shall do less and less...to no damage at all.

May we know to live in harmless harmony
with this beautiful planet, our earthly home.
