Weekend Contemplation: The Earth we live on is Sacred


After watching the 'Whale Rider' it got me thinking about the frailty of our planet and how it important it is to express love and gratitude towards this beautiful and dynamic planet we live on. As I was sitting contemplating this I saw this book on Nomadic People called Vanishing Footprints, sitting on my coffee table. I'm not quite sure who put it there but I found this beautiful and appropriate quote by an Australian Aboriginal called Anne Pattel-Gray
Only through our spiritual connection to the earth can we continue in our own identity... In our view the earth is sacred. It is a living entity in which other living entities have origin and destiny.
It seemed like such a beautiful thing to say I wanted to give it greater voice.
