how is it
how does
Momma Earth
so impeccably
weave the pattern of Fir bough with the fan of Fern
harmonize the laughter of River and the call of Crow
has Wildflower ever seemed awkward in its placement
as it dances in unison with Ant and Otter
Sun and Cloud and Breeze
on Hillside and Meadow
and within the welcome and welcoming
tear in this eye
Oh, Momma Earth!

O Earth, O Earth, so immense, so beautiful! Looking at the beauty outside invites me to experience the beauty within—because we are one.

Oneness with Nature
O God, you are the fragrance of flowers, you are the blooming white lotus.
My bliss of freedom says: I have the same within.
All the trees holding stillness, such a great astonishing silence within.
My bliss of freedom says: I have the same silence within.
All these birds are singing the glory of God.
My bliss of freedom says: I have the same within.
Wind, sky, sand, fire, and water are all creations of God.
My bliss of freedom says: No wonder I have the same within.

I love Mother Earth. I feel so much gratitude for her renewal, her rejoicing. I picture her rebirth, her transformation—just as this moment in time has changed me in many ways as I turn within for transformation to uplift my spirit.

O Mother Earth
Your beauty awakens meditation
Your sounds dissolve tension
You are beyond comprehension
You fill my heart with joy
How can I thank you?
You give me strength and energy
How may I serve you?
O Mother Earth, you are beyond comprehension!
