Earth Day 2020

Thank you Gaia. May we continue to see the connections between ourselves and every being including Earth.

​Sunlight
The sunlight filtered
through smooth and graceful trees.
Behold! There was life!
 
Stream
A crystal clear stream
frothing and fretting its way
endlessly running.
 
Leaves
Leaves! Drifting downward
carried and caressed by wind,
sliding to soft earth.
 
Clouds
The billowy clouds
floated above the blue sky
changing shape with care.
 
A New Day
The sun spreads its light
and dries the wet dewy grass
A new day begun.
 
Man
Buildings and buildings,
tearing and scarring meadows.
Will Man ever stop?
 
The Apple Tree
The apple tree stood
ornamented and serene
reaching for the sky.
 
Earth
The earth gave and gave,
until it could give no more.
And who was to blame?
 
Time
It is faster than joy, love,
happiness.
It is slower than death.
 
~ Erin Waterman, 1978
