OUR MOTHER EARTH

I was dreading the snow, but we got just enough to further beautify an already spectacular landscape. The cold returned. It was 18.4 below zero F when I got up this Morning. It is 8.4 below now at close to Eleven AM.

I went out to do chores this Morning in just the shirt I wear around the house. It was about fifteen below then. It was Sunny and calm. It was bracing, but for the short time out there it didn't feel so bad. I just had to carry water out to the sheep and chickens.

The new snow made a loud crunch when I walked on it. I wondered about the mystery of it. Is it the ice crystals? Why does the snow make different noises at different times? If it is below freezing one wouldn't think the ice crystalline formation would change that much. Yet, yesterday Morning it didn't crunch and this Morning the crunch was so pronounced. It reminded me of my childhood when my mind was fresh and so full of wonder. I, also, thought of what I have read about the Eskimos and how they have so many more words than we do to describe snow.

What an amazing, marvelous planet we live on. Are we waking up? Will we help Gaia bring this Earth back to its pristine condition? I hope so. With a combination of our new technology i.e. free energy etc. we should be able to find a way to live on this planet without disturbing the naturally occurring environment.

I think often about how we would live on the Earth if we treated Her as a living, loving being. Would we ask permission ever time we put a shovel in to her? What are Her limits? Ancient peoples and some folks living today communicate with the Earth in specific ways. Can we? Is it so far fetched to think we should ask permission before digging huge holes and moving masses amount of earth around?

We have become so out of tune, with our pursuit of separation, that we have no idea how to treat the very Mother Earth that has given us everything. We know we need to begin with Love.

If we practice, seeing the Earth as a living, loving being, we will appreciate her features differently. Her rivers, lakes, oceans, canyons, deserts, jungles, forests etc. will take on new meaning. It is like looking at the organs of a body; heart, lungs, arteries, lymph glands etc. they comprise a whole living unit. We can't disturb one part of our bodies without affecting all.

We have so much to learn! It is exciting though! The idea of beginning all over again, to find the best way to live with a loving Mother! I think we already have the knowledge in our consciousness. I think it will be a discovery. Ancient peoples must have had the knowledge and many indigenous people may have too.

Let us ask our Mother how she wants us to proceed.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Love and Peace, Gregg
