Giving Thanks to Mother Earth
remembering to give thanks to gracious mother earth
Mother earth. She gives us so much. Air to breathe, space to live, soil to grow our food, water to drink, everything we need to live, even our body. And what is our thank? Mindlessly destroying her. Please give thanks to Mother Earth and remember to treat her well.
We bring reusable bags to go shopping. Leave the packages at the store or avoid buying them! Plastic is so bad for our mother, avoid as much as possible. We are using biodegradable soap. Try to buy organic and local if possible! Think about our mother and the future generations! Carpool, take a bus, bicycle or walk. Or just stay put and have a beautiful day with your family. We are using non-toxic products, please try to use non-toxic products too! Giving thanks to Mother Earth means to be conscious about her in our daily lives, and to care about her.
Our forefathers were much more aware about our Mother Earth than we are today in our "advanced" civilization. They were praying to the Mother and thanking her. Let yourself be inspired to become a greater lover of our Mother Earth.

Great Spirit
Great Spirit, Great Spirit, My Grandfather,
All over the earth the faces of living things are all alike. . .
Look upon these faces of children without number
And with children in their arms,
That they may face the winds and
Walk the good road to the day of quiet. . .
There is no death. . .
Only a change of worlds. . .
Only a change of worlds.
Dance to Heal the Earth (excerpt)
The Lie has gone far enough. It spreads and makes everyone sick. Now is the time for this dance to begin. It, too, will spread, and it will bring healing to all. In the beginning, they say, God put a rainbow in the sky, to let us know that Spirit never forgets. Now is the time for us to put a rainbow across the earth, to let God know that we, too, remember.
Dance to heal the earth. Not just when you're dancing, but always. Live the dance, whenever you move, in all you do, dance to heal the earth.
A Buddhist Prayer to Mother Earth
in the JODO SHINSHU TRADITION
We gently caress you, the Earth, our planet and our home.
Our vision has brought us closer to you, making us aware of the harm we have done to the life-network upon which we ourselves depend.
We are reminded that we have poisoned your waters, your lands, your air.
We have filled you with the bones of our dead from war and greed.
Your pain is our pain.
Touching you gently, we pray that we may become peace-bringers and life-bringers so that our home in its journey around the Sun not become a sterile and lonely place.
May this prayer and its power last forever.

Ho Mother Earth, thank you for all the gifts of your creation. You open your body and give us the food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the shelter of our homes.
