One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath I’m swimming
And here we will rest in peace
~ Dave Matthews
♫ (One Sweet World) ♫
The earth itself assures us it is a living entity. Deep below surface one can hear its slow pulse, feel its vibrant rhythm. The great breathing mountains expand and contract. The vast sage desert undulates with almost imperceptible tides like the oceans. From the very beginning, throughout all its cataclysmic upthrusts and deep sea submergences, the planet Earth seems to have maintained an ordered rhythm.
~ Frank Waters

Happy Earth Day on this blue and white and green spinning planet, Barbara. Much joy to YOU and Mama Earth.
Wishing you and Gaia a joyful Earth Day, too, Kathy! 🙂
HAPPY EARTH DAY! “Nelson Henderson said, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”
Beautiful wisdom, yes! Generativity: “You receive something from the past, you create something out of it, you pass it on to the future…”
Apparently Lowe’s is celebrating Earth Day by giving away a million trees on Saturday. 🙂
Hi Barbara,
Happy Earth Day, and you picked some beautiful words to go with it as well.
Thank you, magsx2!
What a beautiful earth day post. Love the little poem!
P.S. I really love the Isak Dinesen quote on the side:
The cure for anything is salt water – sweat, tears, or the sea. 🙂
Thanks, Rosie! The Dinesen quote is one of my favorites, too! 🙂
I’m a day late but… Happy Earth Day!
I really want to see that movie.
Me, too! Haven’t seen “African Cats” playing anywhere locally, looks like I’ll have to make a trip to see a good movie again…
