I desire to live more consciously and help create a peaceful planet. I wrote a love letter to the Earth with the intention to align my attitude with peace, gratitude, acceptance, and well-being. I invite you to write a love letter to Mother Earth - it feels really good.

Dear Mother Earth,

Each morning I awake from sleep nestled comfortably on your crust, in the warm embrace of my beloved.  I open my eyes to a brand new day illumined by the sun, cleansed by the wind, and nourished by the rain.

I am a delicate being surrounded by a house, built from your bounty that protects me from your harshness.  I know your strength and honor it by working with you to maintain your natural balance, the vital balance that ensures my survival.  As I awaken more fully, I see that my cooperation is imperative to sustaining all life; I know that you are strong and will go on like you have for time unimaginable.  But me, my brothers and sisters, we have a responsibility, to be wise custodians of all you produce.  You give and give unconditionally to me and I commit to use only what I need and share any extra with others.

I love to play on your mountains, swim in your seas, and travel all over you.  I savor the deliciousness of your harvests, drink freely of your waters, and suck in your atmosphere.

I live a life full of spirit, creativity, and joy, and I care deeply about living in peace with all humankind.  I work to awaken others to see and acknowledge their worth and to live consciously, in harmony with others and with you.  You give me a place to do all of this and I am humbled and awed at your graciousness and the ease in which you exist.

Late at night a lay awake on your crust wondering how it is that you and I are suspended in space, adrift in the cosmos feeling cradled in grace, the unseen force that works quietly in our favor in all ways, always.

Thank you Mother, love Ali xo
