Earth Day - #40

Rhododendron, originally uploaded by donnallong.

Earth Day can be a day of gratitude, respect and thanksgiving.

It is a day to ponder how we are nothing without the Earth. How we are bags of water walking around on a blue-green planet covered with water.

What a thing to ponder. Water bags on a water planet.

How long have we been asleep? How long have we avoided the truth of who we are?

I wake up in the morning and I give thanks.

I give thanks for the life that is in all living beings.
I give thanks for the good things we have.
I give thanks that I have a chance to grow a little bit each day.

Wado.
