there lives the dream of a beautiful garden. It is a sacred garden.
It is the form our Mother Earth wanted to take. She wanted to be filled
with lush gardens, waterfalls, soft warm sunlight, misty vapors and cool
fragrant breezes. She wanted to be soft, and gentle and romantic. She
wanted to be loved and adored and revered in her right place, as our Mother,
the giver of all life. She needed and wanted balance, and acceptence for
her wonderful gifts. Gifts of life, and love and reproduction. But
almost before She had time to know the beauty that She was, something happened
and our beautiful Earth Mother began to fall.
Some say She did wrong, and is being punished. Others say because She is
biological, She is less than divine and doesn't have the ability to remain
eternal. Whatever the reason, our Mother is tired now. Very
tired. All the pristine beauty that once was, is going away. Her
streams are dirty. Her land is bare. Her wildlife is dead and
dying. Her air is filled with smoke and debris, and Her face is old and
careworn.
Does anyone care that once She was a beautiful maiden that opened up her dark,
rich soil to receive the seed of the Sun God? He planted His Spirit into
Her biological womb and from there we grew.... yet in all this long time,
there is no talk of our Mother. We have a Father and an Elder
Brother. But Mother has lost Her place of reverence in our Hearts and this
is reflected in the way we treat Her, with our garbage and our continual abuse,
so that to describe anything as earthly has become akin to saying it is evil
and "of the flesh" has come to mean something much, much less than Divine.
It's almost too late to turn back the hands of time; Her heart has been so
broken by our rejection of Her, and yet... in my heart, I have hope that
somehow we will do it, and that She will forgive us. I miss the Earth
Mother. I miss the beauty that once was She. The perfection that
could and should exist. Without Her clean, clear water for us to drink,
and Her rich gardens for us to feast upon, and Her fresh clean air to nurture
us, we might as well have never existed.
Let us go back to Eden. It's a journey that begins in the heart. We
will never move to save our Mother unless we open our hearts to feel Her
pain. It doesn't take long to get there, but the journey to repair the
Earth Mother has only just begun. It only takes a step to begin... taking
the time to recycle or to help a stray or abandoned animal to find
shelter. Maybe plant a tree, or even build an earthship.
May we all go inside to this beautiful garden, and shine the light of our
awareness into Her darkness, and let Her know that we still love Her. That
we always have, and that we always will.
Thanks for coming by.
Please call again.
