I am your Mother Earth. You extend my bounty through loving me and sharing your beauty. I touched you when you were born. I touch you now as you embrace each other. I fill you now with the capacity  to be renewed now. Welcome, to your whole being. Welcome to peace on earth. May 12, 1989 4:38 A.M excerpted from my book The Rebirth of Mother Earth  I, and my Mother the Earth, are Rising Together If the world were in truth disconnected, if people, and nations, and rocks, and rabbits, and trees, had truly nothing in common, then there would be no Mother Earth that we are part of and is part of us. The truth is,  there is a Mother Earth and we are part of this Mother Earth. Every little pain and pleasure is here pain and pleasure; and every little pain and pleasure we each have belongs to all of us. And so the earth evolves. And so, we each are called to be more sensitive to the earth and to the bonds of friendship we each share. The very nature of ourselves unfolds. We become more sensitive. Latent abilities ask the courage to be expressed through us. Shall we deny these increased sensitivities? Shall we continue to drug our feelings? Shall we continue to to attempt to subdue the tiny viruses that come to awaken us to new reverence life itself? I, for one would rather be open. I am feeling the depths of my personal and universal pain and pleasure that I might evolve and the earth might grow. If the body of the earth is in pain because her spirit is in labor, who am I, as her natural offspring, to hold back my rebirth, or deny what feels broken and frightening inside me? I, and my Mother the Earth, are rising together. December 1988 July 9, 1989 from The Rebirth of Mother Earth
