An Earth Day Ritual



It’s Earth Day! Today is the day to realize and take full advantage of

our symbiotic relationship with the Earth. Start your day with this

simple ritual: Go outside with a piece of fruit, a bowl of water, and

some organic fertilizer. Find a spot in your garden, window box, or

nearby park and kneel before a plant. Tap into its green, generous

energy. When you feel connected, acknowledge this being and all it gives

to you by holding up the fruit and saying:



In all things I see your

generosity, and I thank you.



Eat the fruit, and tuck away any peels, seeds, or cores to compost

later. Now hold your hands over the water and fertilizer and say:



In all my actions may I give back to you, most bountiful Mother Earth.



Fertilize and water the plant, pouring your intentions for a healthy,

whole planet into your actions.
