California Everlasting

“We love the Earth and we want to be connected; that is the meaning of Love.” —Thich Nhat Hahn

“When you love someone, you want to say I need you, I take refuge in you. It’s a kind of prayer, yet it’s not superstition. You love the Earth and the Earth loves you. You entrust your love to the Earth, and you know it will never betray you. You do anything for the well-being of the Earth, and the Earth would do anything for your well-being. And this connection begins with mindfulness. You realize that you are here as a child of the Earth, and you carry the Earth within you.”

If you like these ideas, you might enjoy listening to Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet.
