You can decide the advisability of taking any action quite simply

by asking yourself if you intend to carry it out with an open heart.

Before you undertake any activity in your daily life, first take a moment

to enter your heart, and allow your action be directed from there.

Mother Earth is a spirit manifest in form—just as we are spirits in human form–

who loves us dearly, provides generously, and appreciates any love we return.

Seek to see God in everything and your beliefs and judgments will fall away:

Then free of beliefs, judgments, and prejudices, oneness becomes apparent.

What a rascal God must be to clothe Himself in so many unlikely forms,

and what a delight it is to find Him there, hidden away inside each one.

Anywhere you are, seek ways to remain in touch with the natural world,

as nature shines a constant light that cleanses both your body and your soul.

With three slow breaths we can remove ourselves from all judgment and stress,

and restore ourselves to the harmonious, flowing being in which we always abide.

Just as the sun’s rays radiate in all directions and still arrive as sunlight;

Being radiates through all creation, and we are that light of God arriving.

Mother Earth is a wholeness who is always seeking total natural balance:

Every plate shift, eruption, or storm surge urges us back toward harmony.

Brothers, sisters, it’s difficult, but still very possible to look beyond our

arbitrary judgments and discriminations to see the commonality in us all.
