Happy Earth Day!

I was woken early this morning and pulled outside to photograph the neighbouring cherry blossoms in the morning sunlight!

Such JOY!

Beauty in the back garden! The blossoms on the sour cherry tree.

Happy Earth Day!

Deep Gratitude & Love & Kisses to You, Mother Earth, from all of my heart.

i thank You God for most this amazing

day: for leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

Prayer of Love for Mother Earth

Mother Earth,

May we learn from your being

to persevere with faith,

to balance with grace

to embrace with love

and give of your bounty.

O Great Creator, I come before you in a humble manner and offer you this sacred pipe. With tears in my eyes and an ancient song from my heart I pray. To the four powers of Creation, To the Grandfather Sun, To the Grandmother Moon, To the Mother Earth, And to my ancestors. I pray for my relations in Nature, All those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim, Seen and unseen, To the good spirits that exist in every part of Creation. I ask that you bless our elders and children, families, and friends, and the brothers and sisters who are in prison. I pray for the ones who are sick on drugs and alcohol and for those who are now homeless and forlorn. I also pray for peace among the four races of humankind.

May there be good health and healing for this Earth,

May there be Beauty above me, May there be Beauty below me,

May there be Beauty in me, May there be Beauty all around me.

I ask that this world be filled with Peace, Love and Beauty.
