The environment is in dire need of prayer, because various corporate interests, political leaders, and one American "[cult] leader" are determined to ignore scientific evidence.
Great reminders of how important nature is to all that we are and what we can do. There is a trustworthy rhythm to nature that is healing to the psyche and rejuvenating but we need to slow down enough first to not think in nanoseconds. Mother Nature simply does not care if I wished the sunrise happened faster. :-) I wrote about this in my April 8th post at The BizDoctor's Gazebo in relation to our reactions to the Total Eclipse. We are awestruck and humbled at the same time to see something we rely on day after day act in an unusual way. We are simply powerless over what the Sun, Moon and Earth will do in their rhythmic dance. And when the Sun returns, we know all will be OK. Taking time every day to treasure the natural world around us can only make us better stewards of this wonderful treasure that is the planet Earth.
Lovely poems to celebrate Earth Day. I have recently discovered Mary Oliver and enjoy her work immensely.
Happy Earth Day !

Lenny, I totally agree. If there were a word stronger than "totally" I would us it.
