COMMUNITY
the planet herself. We feel
we can control, outsmart,
out-do Nature. And Nature cries louder than ever
to be heard: I am here.
What
about
global
food shortages, floods,
droughts, and hurricanes?
Like a person with a raging fever to shake off an
invasive virus, so too, the
planet is feverish, trying to
shake off the weight we
put on her: the physical
toxins we emit in the air,
water and food, and the
etheric toxins we emit in
selfish actions and distorted thoughts.
We tend to live disconnected from the whole,
thinking somehow we will
find the love we seek by
wanting more. Yet we are
already love. We are already loved. Our mother
is calling us to stop, make
amends, practice humility, listen to one another
and listen to the still, small
voice within. When will we
reconnect with the beauty we already are, but
have forgotten? We are
her children. We come
from her. We sustain her
as she sustains us. We go
back to her. She is the
mother we all share.
Nature’s agitation is not
separate from our own.
We cannot walk away
from it and pretend it is
not happening, just as we
would not walk away from
a person in distress. Yet like
participants in a global hit
and run, we outpour toxins onto our mother, and
keep on going, expecting
no consequence for our
actions.
We are being called to a
new kind of action, one
that understands that our
wealth is global health
because we are all connected. Every cell of your
body is born on the Earth.
She not only runs through
your veins, she is the very
stuff of which our veins
are made. By resting in
this undeniable unity,
compassion calls us to
wise action. As a child of
the Earth, as a steward of
the land, do you hear the
call to give voice in communion with Nature to
help protect the life that
sustains all?
Whether you feel the impulse to open an organic
café, apologize to someone, turn your company
100% green, work lovingly
with people you judged
as bad, tithe your income
to protect wildlife, plant
trees, save our water systems - whatever it is - that
voice is waiting to be
heard by you. That voice
is Her call, reminding you
that you are not alone.
We are One Earth Family.
In response to the call,
we founded the not-forprofit company parvati.
org. Our mandate is “Supporting a healthy environment and healthy people
so that we have a healthy
