Dear Meg,
This post inspired me to sit outside in the garden yesterday and commune energetically with the plants that grace the landscape around me. My eyes took in the bright colors, the energies of life were strongly being emitted and I must say that the experience I chose of the holiness of the Earth was a veritable feast for the windows of my soul.
Later, I played the Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me" which is a longtime prayer I have carried for years in my heart.
She, the Earth, is going through so much whether it is the Siberian tundra burning, as well as many places in California and Canada, flooding in Oman, Belgium, Germany; excessive rainfalls, as well as heat domes. Fracturing of the Earth to extract profits, mining by blowing off mountain tops, fires in the gulf. Our beautiful Earth, She will go on after we depart, it seems all that was and is needed is the gift of caring and nurturing of Her sacred body, indigenous peoples have been trying to warn us for generations.
Yes indeed, my heart has been heavy with the sufferings related to the changing climate. So much needless suffering. Thank you for the upliftment and inspiration. Many people seem to only believe in climate change after they have an experience of destruction related to climate change. Too late, too late.
An enormous hawk landed on the rock by my office window as I was writing this post.
with love, Johanna
