"What are we doing here? No doubt everyone at some point in their life ask themself those questions. Most generally that questions is asked when life seems confusing, perplexing, and down right puzzling. In my 74 years on this beautiful planet, never have I witnessed such drastic division and separation in our country. Of course, globally many countries are in major shift mode as well. And, we all share the effects of the environmental changes, the devasting, record-breaking events that are transforming the contours of the land, along with the loss of populations of various species of animals, plant life, and the human race are at epic proportions. What does all this mean? What sort of rationale, purpose, or underlying "message" are we to understand? How can we make sense out of the ever-widening division we are witnessing in the political, moral, and very fundamental truths of many countries? More specifically, our country's seeming disregard for the very principles on which our country was founded?
How's that for an opening? If each of us are to be completely honest, the basis of our foundation has been and continues to be crumbling beneath our feet. Personally, I believe most people are good, love their family and country and would and do show up to help their neighbor. That has been shown through all the major upheavals mentioned above. Regardless of our differences, most people want to live in peace, have the security of a place to call home, and know we are safe and secure. We need to be confident someone cares that we are citizens of this beautiful planet, and if we disappeared, someone would notice and miss us. As we observe the profound beauty unfolding before our eyes that spring brings, now would be a great time to touch the deepest part of your very soul and reassure your heart just how grateful you are to be alive. If nature can confront these drastic environmental events and continue to regenerate new growth, can't we do the same? On this Earth Day, 2023, how about we scan the magnificent world with which we live and notice the amazing gifts above our Heads? The stars continue to shine, Grandfather Sun shows up every morning, and Grandmother Moon reminds us that life is filled with phases that continue to unfold despite other events. On this Earth Day, 2023, I will continue to do what I do every day; Lift my eyes to the Sky Nation and recite, "As above, so below." It is a constant reminder that something greater is the divine God/Creator, and that love from which Earth was birthed will always have the final say. It gives me hope and a comforting peace. I am confident multitudes of other have some form of daily ritual that helps them know without question, "Love will always shed light on the darkness that appears." With that, I say, "Earth to Heaven," Thank you!
