Save Mother Earth

I am in awe at how harsh this beautiful world can be...

I remember in junior high I would read the National Geographic to look at the stunning pictures of this world - with the waterfalls and the endangered animals. 

So have you ever stopped to wonder about Mother Earth? 

the amazing Milky Way -- BIG goal this year is learning how to take pics like this
She must feel pain most of the time.

She must hate the hate that so many of us carry. 

When there are wars I'm sure she cries towards Heaven in grief, as blood seeps into her skin.

I'm sure she cries to God for strength and mercy. But not for Her; for us.

What a strong soul she must be. She is humble. She is selfless. What our world should be.

I have seen our world; Her world crash as her heart cracks and she begins to tremble. And I think we make her cry. 


I think we make her cry because of our sadness and our pain. Our anger; our rage. Our idolness; our pride.

We've given her scars. We throw garbage and glass all over her face. And she can't do anything about it. 

Except by showing us she cares. By showing us that she is still pure, while we are not.

She has no voice but her creations are enough to see she is there. This is Her world more than ours. Yet she gives us sunrises
                        sunsets
                                   flowers
                                              stars
                                                     clouds
                                                              oxygen
She gives us memories.

She gives us reasons to smile. 

We need to look at this beautiful world around us. Mother Earth is too gentle and too lovely to ignore.

Pine tree sunrisesJust as Bob Marley said... Rain  I love to walk in the rain.... even downpoursAll those tiny things that make up the bigger things. Aren't they lovely?

Next time you notice something beautiful in this world, make sure you let Her know she has been seen. That she is appreciated. You can tell Her

Thank you.
Thank you for doing this for me.
For being strong.

And even though she won't respond, she will hear you. And that will be enough.

  2. Love everything from "When there are wars I'm sure she cries towards Heaven in grief" to "And I think we make her cry. " but my favorite line that really painted a clear image and left me thinking was
    "We've given her scars. We throw garbage and glass all over her face. And she can't do anything about it."

  3. I love this sentence. "She must hate the hate that so many of us carry." It's so true, but there is nothing she can do...

  4. Great use of pictures and the layout of the text.

    It's inspiring how you can see the beauty in such a harsh world. We should all try to do the same thing.
