I have not become some new-age raging environmentalist. Or so I think. Yet, since starting this meditation book back in February I have come to truly appreciate our planet.
I closed my eyes for a few minutes after reading today's pondering. I concentrated on the sounds of nature that is just outside my window. I can hear the birds chirping and whistling. I am instantly transported to the trees. The beautiful trees.
I seem to soar over the landscape as I look upon earth's beauty. I think of the beauty of the grass and the plants and the rocks. And I marvel at how we, as mankind, have the audacity to think we can improve it.
No, no, I would not have us go back to some primitive lifestyle, but at the same time I think it important for us to realize just what that lifestyle costs us.
Peggy, when she gave us these meditations, asked just one thing of us. I now it of anyone reading this. Appreciate our planet. Just appreciate it. Love Mother Earth. You will be amazed at the peace you can find within yourself.
