Celebrating the Earth
Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.
It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.
There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,
And that is life as a Spiritual Being. As a Loving Being.
I affirm that we all come from this one Source.
We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
I now speak my word for myself and for all.
As I align myself with Spirit in Nature.
I resolve to get out in nature and explore a corner of the earth that I have not visited before.
I join more than one billion people in one hundred and ninety-two countries, who now take part in what is the largest civic-focused day of action in the world, Earth Day.
I acknowledge the interdependence that exists among human beings, other living species and the planet we all inhabit.
I see environmental rights as human rights.
I resolve to do right by our youth by making sure that the Earth we are given is habitable.
I honor water reclamation plants and material recovery facilities.
I not only see America as the land of the red, white and blue, but also the land of the green.
I acknowledge in ways big and small, that Americans in all fifty states are finding inventive solutions to make the environment and sustainability a part of their lives on Earth Day and every day.
I surround myself with the energy of Nature.
I recognize, respect and protect the interconnected energy that exists with Nature.
I make time to be in Nature.
I appreciate that plants provide me with oxygen, while pulling carbon dioxide and pollutants from my air.
And, I recognize that the beauty of Nature brings me peace.
So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for the Beauty, the Peace, the Joy and the purity of air that Nature provides in my life.
And so it is.
