You are Earth
What can we do when all around us it looks like the world is going off the deep end?
Become aware of the sacredness of absolutely everything!
So, I invite you to take some time to truly connect with the Earth. You are the Earth. Your bones are made out of particles that were once a part of mountains. Your cells are surrounded and penetrated by the ocean. The breath that moves through you moves through mighty cedar trees and baby pandas. To connect with the Earth is to remember that you are a part of this magical, mysterious, and awesomely creative process that is life. To connect with the Earth is to be invited to live from the awareness of the sacredness of all.
If you really think about it, most of the time you don’t even touch the ground. Shoes and floors and concrete stand between you and a full connection with this sacred planet. Every once in a while, you may actually smell the Earth, and you may actually pause for a moment here and there to fully take in its beauty, but you rarely truly touch it. So, I invite you to take off your shoes and find some grass to wiggle your toes in. Be like a child and allow your feet to play with the Earth!
And if you want to take this further, lie down on the Earth and take a few moments to look at your world from this position. Open to the beauty of the sky above you, and if there are clouds, watch them dance with the eyes of a child. When you are ready, close your eyes and allow your imagination to move down through the Earth below you, all the way to the other side, and discover an amazing thing – the Earth is being held by space! She is not stuck on a stick or hung by a string. She is moving through vast oceans of space. Feel how solid the Earth is below you. Then, just as the Earth is held by space, allow yourself to be held by the Earth as she dances through the cosmos. Melt into her embrace.
From this grounded place, open your ears and listen. There are all sorts of sounds arising and passing away all around you and within you. This is the music of life, and you are listening to it the moment it appears out of mystery. Now open your eyes again and look into space. Because the Earth is moving 65,000 MPH around the sun, you are now looking at a different part of the universe than you did just a few minutes ago. Allow yourself to be awed by how vast and yet how supportive life is.
If you are inclined to take this one step further, find a place to lie down on the Earth under a starry night. Again, melt into the embrace of the Earth and open to the vast oceans of space you are moving through right at this moment. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach of the Earth!! Can you open to the magnitude and the grandeur of the universe you are living in? Can you allow yourself to be held by the Earth as she dances through space, and recognize that you are a small but integral part of this awe-inspiring, unfolding that is life?
May you take time to lift yourself out of your ordinary awareness and open to life. May you allow yourself to be so moved that you finally recognize you are a part of a creative unfolding that is mind-boggling in its precision, its intelligence, and its beauty. May you understand that we are all together on this tiny blue-green jewel that is dancing through oceans of space. May you discover that whether your skin is dark or light, your sex is male, female or non-binary or whatever your religion, you have so much more in common with others than what separates you.
May you know that this invitation, to step out of your mind and be present for the astounding magic and mystery of every single bit of life, is what will heal our world. For when you realize the sacredness of absolutely everything, you will not be able to act in a way that harms yourself, other beings who share this planet with you, and the planet itself.
So, as you move throughout each day, become aware you are a thread in the tapestry of life, weaving this world into the sacred oneness that it truly is.

This is such a pleasant reset of our life experience. I appreciate the perspective of this approach. 65,000 mph…
wow! And we don’t fall off??? This opens my eyes seeing through the lens… we live in chaos, but an order takes us from chaos to calm. With a grateful heart, encouraged by my place in this living, breathing world, I have a place in time and this universe sharing the experience of life. No more, no less. Praise be to the Grand Architect.
Thank you Mary. One of the great teachers of my life. I am so blessed to have you with me on this journey.
You’re so welcome. My heart is touched by your words! I’m grateful to be a part of your journey. Be light!
