“Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, who feeds us and rules us, and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs”. __ Saint Francis of Assisi
Saint Francis knew her as alive. She is part of Creation. Like the moon and the stars. Like fire and water and wind. Like bees, trees, and crystals. All have energy given to them by God. All can benefit us, if we love, honor, and respect the gifts. Yet, all living things have their own reasons to live, their own songs to sing, and their own dreams to dream. We were created to live in harmony with all life.
It’s not too late. We can learn. We can heal together.
(This post is part of my Earth Month Celebration. Because Mother Earth deserves more than one day.)
Anything is Possible!

Nature and our affinity with it and its creator. We ought to be in continual celebration……but are too preoccupied to realise its grace upon us. How fortunate we are.
