Knowing the Earth

The following poetic post from a Care2 forum says it all- We need to tap into our inner child-- and do what this poster says, to appreciate Earth and all Creation.

"To know the Earth on a first-name basis you must know the meaning of river stones first. Find a place that calls to you and there lie face down in the grass until you feel each plant alive with mystery of beginnings. Move in a circle until you discover an insect crawling with knowledge in its heart. Examine a newborn leaf and find a map of a universe so vast only Eagles understand . Observe the journey of an ant and imitate its path of persistance in a world of bigger things . Borrow a cloud and drift high above the Earth, looking down at the smallness of your life. The journey begins on a path made of your old mistakes. The journey continues when you call the Earth by name---" by Carla R.- Tweet
