Gratitude 11 … the Earth
Today I am grateful for the Earth — both all her peaceful Beauty, and all her violent turmoil …
I am thankful for her shape — that there ever remains is a realm of mystery beneath her every surface (no matter how deeply we happen to delve); that there is always a panorama of perfection above our heads (no matter where we roam and no matter what the weather); that every “end of the earth” is simply another starting point on our never-ending Journey of re-discovering our scintillating Home …
I am thankful for her symphonies of sound and sight; for her pungent odors, subtle tastes and varied textures. I am thankful for her invisible beauties — her ley-lines & her Van Allen belts, her underground rivers & her skies draped with jet-streams …
And, of course, I am thankful for her Soul (made of the same stuff as my own). She comprises all that is most beautiful and all that is most challenging in the Universe. As such, there is nowhere else I could travel that would amaze me more, and as such, there is nowhere else I would rather be — right Here, right Now … on Earth, as It is in Heaven!
And so it is that I climb to my proverbial mountaintop, take a deep breath filled with profound reverence, and let loose with a long & loud – Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
