but every animal and every flower which becomes extinct is lost forever in the most absolute of all deaths."

"Every second of life is filled with precious jewels.
Those jewels are our awareness of sky, the Earth, the trees, the hills, the river, the ocean, and all the miracles around us.
We can get so caught up in our plans, fears, agitations, and dreams that we aren't living in our bodies anymore and we're not in touch with our real mother, the Earth, either.
We can't see the miraculous beauty and magnificence that our planet offers to us.
Our planet is right here, powerful, generous, and supportive at every moment.
Once we realize these qualities in the Earth, we can take refuge in her in our difficult moments, making it easier for us to embrace our fear and suffering and transform it.
Awareness of the in-breath and out-breath first of all calms us down. By paying attention to your breathing, without judgement, you bring peace back to your body
When our minds and bodies have calmed down,
we begin to see more clearly.
When we see more clearly, we feel more connected to ourselves and to the Earth and have more understanding.
Where there is clarity and understanding, love can bloom because true love is based on understanding.
Each breath contains nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor as well as other trace elements,
so each breath that we inhale contains the Earth.
With each breath, we're reminded that we are part of this beautiful life-giving planet." 🌍
