See the beauty of Earth. She her as mother and forever home.
Give joyful, heart-felt thanks to her for giving us the gift of life. She sustains us as a loving mother does.
Give equal thanks to Sun, Moon, planets, and all the stars. Indeed, it takes a village.
See all the living as older sisters and brothers. All of the plants and animals were here long before we were. They are older and wiser in the ways of life than we humans are. They are patient and generous teachers.
We humans are the youngest of Mother Earth's children and often behave immaturely as the youngest in the family do. We do well to respect and watch and learn from our elder kin.
Our plant and animal kin do not depend on us in order to live. We depend on all of them. From them we have much to learn. We also have much for which to give thanks to them.
