If you want to see something
that's truly beautiful,
gaze at the picture of earth above
and imagine her magnificent
oceans with white-capped waves,
warm sandy beaches,
gentle water falls,
meadows brimming with
wildflowers of every color,
misty hills beneath a purple horizon,
and great stands of woods
that stretch farther than
the eye can see.

Her body provides us with
nourishment and gives us shelter.
There's healing power
in her every leaf and brook,
and serenity can be found
in her soft bosom.
She's a living miracle in the
blackness of space,
a true gift from God.

She is our Mother,
providing all we need
and cradling us gently
in her loving arms.
She is home,
a vital part of who we are,
the essence of our being.
God put her in our trust,
so please take good care of her.
Respect her and all life upon her;
for we're all connected
to each other...
and to her.

Home is a feeling of warmth, it is a moment of truth that transends all time.
No matter what, home is the ground upon which we walk, which has always
been there for us and always offers herself to us tenderly.
The land and the people are one. The spirit never dies.

As you walk your journey do not forget to touch Mother Earth.
As you walk let your footsteps fall lightly upon the ground.
Come down to your knees press your hands gently upon her body,
feel her heart beating. Do not forget what she feels like.
Listen closely to her humming, her smells and sounds.
Listen to her ancient song that needs no words.
She will never ask you to come to her, that is not her way.
She asks for nothing and offers everything.

Whether you have found home or you are still looking, it is good to be thankful.
Thankful for what it is that has power for you. What holds beauty for you.
What gives you peace and joy.
