There are many paths to knowledge. The Earth has been speaking to humanity forever and she has not stopped. Our heartbeats are intertwined, and yet lately humans are abandoning her in favor of technology.
Keep technology in its place. It has its uses, but we are still organic beings. The Earth and nature speak of ancient wisdom that no computer will teach you.

Throughout all of time, humanity has experienced periods of light and dark. Historically, the low periods are an opportunity to examine the darkness, not just in the world, but also within us. Overcoming oppression is often a key theme played out in society during these times.
When I look at society right now, there can be (I think) no doubt that society has fallen to a new low. It appears to be acceptable for our leaders to bully us. (What right do they have?) And people in the interests of changing society use low energy tools such as shaming, blaming, guilt, and aggression to achieve their goal of forcing others to align to their viewpoint. It is just more bullying. Basically, humanity is groveling in the dirt.
We are so much better than this. It’s time to lift our eyes to the stars, and aspire to higher spiritual principles. We need to envision and work together to achieve a world of higher integrity and values. We can do this, but it’s time now to get on board and actively participate in creating a better world.

Nature offers many opportunities for reflection and contemplation. Each aspect of Earth’s beauty has its own personality and message, reflecting us back to ourselves, bestowing realizations that we may not have come to in any other way.
The Earth is our teacher, when we tune in.

The external world is causing us to evaluate our internal value systems. Many will look for what the crowd seems to be deciding and follow it. But now more than ever, it is time for us as individuals to do our own critical thinking and have the courage to take a stand, even if it flies in the face of consensual opinion. The future of humanity depends on it.
Have the courage to be different, if deep down you have convictions you feel are right, but they “go against the flow”.
Those who really know you and if you are a good person, will accept you even when you dare to have a different opinion. Those who don’t know you and see you as “the enemy” because you dared to be different from them, well, in the greater scheme of your life, do they matter?

Gaia, the Earth Goddess
I step from boat to island shore
and she waits for me,
her warm, soft breeze
caresses my cheek,
her lush, verdant scent
fetchingly whispers.
She seduces me.
A gleaming azure sky
calms my agitated mind,
her supple trees drape
the curving roadside,
a satin emerald cloak
befitting the Goddess.
She shimmers for me.
Brilliant sunlight dances
on a turquoise ocean,
waves glittering with diamonds
invite me to play,
graceful sea birds soaring above
call me to be free.
She shines for me.
Exotic languorous lizards
ancient as all time
meander lazily on my path,
scoffing at all clocks,
coaxing me to relax into her
warm, tranquil rhythm.
She soothes me.
Time slips away and
becomes meaningless here,
she feeds my soul
with her enduring grace,
her heart beats to mine
and mine becomes hers.
She saves me.
