Do you practise Gratitude for our Mother Earth?
While walking this morning I realised what a huge gift it was to be able to walk on our precious Papatuanuku - Gaia - Mother Earth.Every step taken was on her and I sensed she was immensely tired.
A mother is allowed to be tired and she truly is weary.I thanked her with tenderness for allowing me to walk on her and gifting me the sense of movement.I cannot do anything without touching her somehow and by acknowledging my gratitude I felt her smile and sigh Thank You back.
We are so incredibly connected to her yet how often do we pause to just say Thank You for allowing us to live on her?
She is blowing quite some fuses now and is reminding us that she needs a rest.Caring for her with our love and respect means so much to her as she constantly and unconditionally allows us to be here.
You may not want to hug her like you do your own mother but just SMILE and Blow her a Gentle Kiss.And while you are about it , if there are any trees around blow them some too.They are the messengers from above and below keeping her close company.
Next time you get out of your car as you place your foot on the ground try saying thanks as you step on her.She is having a hard time right now and each token of gratitude will give her new energy as she goes about restoring things.
And next time when sitting on her caress her gently as you whisper thank you in her ear.We all thrive on LOVE and by giving ours back to her we help her immensely as she tries to keep going with all the TASKS imposed on her.
Many small gestures make a BIG difference to her so join me in practising Gratitude and together we can help.
Thank you.
