How important it is, to LOVE MOTHER EARTH.  She supports the existence of everything.  Within her is the energy of the Spirit, the Universal Life Force Energy in Reiki, the Universal Christ in Christianity, Prana in Hinduism, Lung in Tibetan Buddhism, Chi in Chinese, and in the Hebrew Scriptures, it is called Ruach, the breath of God.

This has been a season of enormous change for me personally.  Family and friends are confronted with health challenges.  My wife and I are selling the office space we have shared and enjoyed for 14 years.  Life doesn't stay the same - it is constantly evolving through a cycle of life, death, and resurrection over and over again.

Today, we give special attention to Mother Earth who herself is constantly evolving through cycles of life, death, and resurrection.  I read news this week that fish are migrating away from the equator toward the poles.  It is 27 df outside today here in Michigan.  Change is under way.

There is good news!  Leaders Summit on Climate.
US President Joe Biden has decided to host a meeting with the world's leaders titled the 'Leaders Summit on Climate'. It is a two-day conference and has been in the works since he took office on 20 January. Many say that this summit is a precursor to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) that will take place later this year in Glasglow. This is supposed to "galvanize efforts by the major economies to tackle the climate crisis" and "to underscore the urgency – and the economic benefits – of stronger climate action."

You Can Watch it Online
The Leaders Summit on Climate is a two-day event that will begin on 22 April and end on 23 April. It will be a virtual event owing to the pandemic making travel impossible. The event will be streamed online and available for the public to watch. The Days events will begin at 5.30 pm IST (8:00 a.m. EDT) and last till 11.00 pm IST (1.30 pm EDT). You can watch the live proceeding here.

Earth Day.  LOVE MOTHER EARTH.

My good friend Tom challenged me to make the integration of environmentalism and spirituality more self-evident.  Here is my response: both involve moving from an I-it relationship with creation, to an I-Thou relationship. I reference Buber and the Hindu religion in this 5:40 video. Come along with me for another walk in the woods.

Here is page 20 from LOVING MOTHER EARTH, which is available on Amazon. We all want her to NOT expel us from this planet, because there is no "Planet B" out there.  Mars won't accommodate enough of us in the time we have.  So we must LOVE MOTHER EARTH right where we are in the most creative ways possible.  Take a look at page 20... and then act lovingly.
