Mother Earth

How we long to be in your warm embrace. You never judge, you never condemn, and you never withhold. When we're hungry, you provide nourishment. When we're thirsty, you provide life source. When we're lonely, you send our siblings to comfort us. Your Love is never ending and unconditional. No matter how far from you we believe ourselves to be, we never leave each other. You are always there silently waiting for us to return. We came from you and shall return to you. 
In our ignorance we try to destroy you, claiming to be born solely of a spiritual nature, failing to see there could be no spirit if it weren't for the body that was provided by you as a home for the spirit. We feel your flesh as our bare feet walk upon you. We feel your gentle caress every time you blow your breath upon our bodies. We feel the intensity of your passion when standing within your fires. We feel you holding us up when we lay in your healing waters. We feel your spirit all around us and within us.
We are provided pollen from our birth father and seed from our birth mother. Everything our birth parents are, came from you. Our entire physical form is provided by you. As our bodies grow, you provide nourishment that transforms into us. Our entire body comes from you and when our spirit leaves our body, we shall transform back into you.
You teach us Love, patience, resilience, forgiveness, and kindness. We try to hide from you to no avail. We pretend to be separate from you, even though we live within you. We build cities and put-up walls as to not be reminded that we are one with you. We try to destroy your body, just as diseases and viruses try to destroy our bodies, not realizing that we are in fact only trying to destroy ourselves. We fail to see that if we were able to kill you, we would be killing ourselves. We fail to see how connected all things are within you.
You provide trees to give everything within you breathe and we use the life-giving tress to write our nonsensical words upon and to wipe the shit our of our back ends. You provide water as a life source for all within you and we throw our rubbish in it and use it for all sorts of nonsense. You provide an abundance of food for all within you, and we hoard it and use it to create divisions within us. You provide fire for rebirth, and we use it to melt your materials into different forms for our own gains. You provide your flesh for us, and we dig it up and crush it. Yet, you continue to provide unconditionally and without malice. We know that we do not need to ask for your forgiveness, as you give it willingly and without being asked, forever Loving. Thank you, Mom, for always taking care of us, even when we spit it your face. We Love you, even though we fail to show it. Love and Peace!
