EarthDay
Like Earth, know Balance
Like Wind, fly Free
Like Fire, be Alive
And Like Water be at Peace
Written on the side of a houseboat in Victoria, B.C.

 

When The Spirit of Water began to create blessing labels for humanity, there was a noticeable void in the tapestry of expression. We had left out specific blessings that would change our lives relative to the planet we live on. Knowing our deep gratitude for the earth, and sending love for its healing, didn't change our lives or our thoughts about the way we bring our natural world into our hearts. There had to be a different approach to blessing the earth. Water whispered to me... What would Rumi do?

We understood....

Our two decal collections specifically bless our natural world. They are prayers and intentions. Earth Peace and Water Peace were divinely inspired to help us experience love in much the same way we experience it among human Others – warm, fuzzy, intoxicating, inspirational, and deeply fulfilling. Read the messages that were channeled during a one-month period of time in the Fall of 2009. With the assurance of the Universe, we were able to create art and print them in time for their formal introduction on Earth Day 2010. If you have trouble embracing the meanings or making them yours, just let the words drift through your consciousness. You will find, in a short amount of time, you are looking at the world in an entirely different way. That is how subtle these messages are.

See for yourself.

Our messages are metaphors for a larger love
that grows beneath the surface... like a Rumi poem.

Earth Lover
MommaGaia... you complete me, as you open my heart. Your sacred invitation bids me to know you intimately as you know me. Along with all creatures, I share your loving embrace. I am intoxicated by your sublime beauty and mystery; and I long for a deeper understanding of all you are and all you give. My heart and soul holds you in sacred devotion, my Earth Lover.

Nature
Precious Other, you speak to me without words. I know you, as I know myself. Together, we are the living Spirit of the Earth. We are its Nature. I need not separate myself from your sometimes intimidating, fascinating wildness or the wisdom that gives birth to a tree or a bee. I feel the impulse to sing in harmony with all Others. Our song is the Living Nature of Earth.  In it together for life, we sing as one Creation.

Plant Love, Grow Wise
My garden teaches me about life. As I stand with my bare feet in the soil, love radiates from the Earth and fills my heart with radiant hope. What seeds shall I plant today? What do I wish to sow at harvest? As I plant, I send my deep love right back into the soil along with the seed. As I do, I am assured that the wisdom of the seed knows what to do next. At harvest time, I am fed a wise diet of love.

Green For Life
Green is the color of my heart chakra, and rightly so, Dear Earth. My heart opens wide as I perceive the leafy growth on your noble surface. I am in love with each stem, leaf, branch, trunk, and forest as it supports the life of its own universe.  Your green bounty nourishes infinite potential; and when green turns to brown, new life emerges in a perpetual cycle. My heart is open wide as I think, feel, and act Green for Life.

Union with Wild Life
Wise Earth Mother, from the heart of the lion to the mind of the crow, I endeavor to know your creatures intimately as they live in the world. Each one shares precious wisdom that helps me face challenges and obstacles in my life. In unity with all that lives wild and free on this planet, I gain a unique perspective about my role in the union with your wild side.

Listen
Precious Earth Whisperer, I listen with all senses to your Divine utterances. I rejoice in hearing Earth’s sweetest melodies and I am reborn. Natural rhythm resonates continuously in my heart. I synchronize with Earth harmonies in all I do. When I invite the audible gifts of birds, winds, waters and animals into my soul, a thousand pathways open, reminding me how much a part of you, Dear Earth, I am

Wild Child
I came into this world innocent and wild. My instinct to learn and grow with other creatures was taken away by Culture’s need to control my natural spirit. Now, aging wisely, I see the best way to mature is to grow wild. The wilderness teaches me more about life and living than any human school could do. Tutored by Mother Earth, I am once again, her Wild Child.

Our Sacred Planet
Sweet Planet Earth, your wisdom to sustain life is a miracle, but your ability to rejenerate your failing health is hindered by life gone out-of-balance. With an open heart, and wild, optimistic inspiration, I vow to help with your recovery, saving billions of species and preserving myriad resources by honoring your sacred nature with every breath I take, and every move I make. . . for you,my Dear Planet, come first

Sun
Fiery Sun, my passion is ignited by your alluring radiance. Bathing in rays that penetrate all contours of my body, mind, and spirit, your irresistible light pulls me upward to blossom in your warm kiss of life. When Earth turns and I am beyond your brilliance, Sister Moon reflects your luminance back to me in a softer version of your scintillating, seductive self. Sublimely content, you give me the power to see and know

Wind
Sacred Wisdom’s Breath, you whisper memories of ancient life and times. When I take you in, All Creation becomes part of me. When I exhale, I become part All Creation. Your breezes scatter organisms, assuring diversity. I am so grateful for your breath of power, that when you blow fierce and mighty, I hold my arms open wide and give thanks for your precious gift

Earth
Silence overcomes me me when I see your magnificent mountains, seas, animals, and trees. Your astounding balancing act, silently maintaining our sanctuary, is humbling. For your devotion to ongoing Life, Dear Earth, I know no greater love than to bow my forehead to your soil and gently kiss you like I do my sleeping child’s forehead.

Water
Your wells are deep with the wisdom of Life. You teach me to follow my own course, never straight, always twisting and turning with the challenges of existence. You nourish my potential and show me that deep, transformational pools are not to be feared, but loved. Dear Water, your well of life touches my heart as you move effortlessly toward the sea.

Green For LiFe
Green is the color of my heart chakra, and rightly so, Dear Earth. My heart opens wide as I perceive the leafy growth on your noble surface. I am in love with each stem, leaf, branch, trunk, and forest as it supports the life of its own universe. Your green bounty nourishes infinite potential; and when green turns to brown, new life emerges in a perpetual cycle. My heart is open wide as I think, feel, and act Green for Life.

Forests
If ever I could know the glory of God’s hand on mine, it would be in a majestic forest temple. Great Forest, in your shadows, I feel illuminated. Among your enormous trees, I feel humility. I hear your whispered wisdom gained through gnarled endurance and I breathe your musky fragrance as it fills my lungs with the spirit of your diversity. In all ways, your temple is my spirit home where I go to meet The Great Mystery.

Eco-Fearless
Earth Mother, I fear not any of your creation, large or small, for they are part of a grand weave that contributes to the Whole Earth Tapestry. I would fiercely do battle to save your seas, mountains, streams, plains, deserts, animal, and plants. I will be a Warrior for the Earth and help sustain the web. Mother Earth, I am your soldier and your child. I will take good care of you.

Earth Peace
Patient Earth Mother, you show me how to find peace in my heart by watching the peace that resides among your creatures. There is no vindication, remorse, or retalliation among species. All abide by your fair and gentle rule and accept the natural laws of survival. From your wise and patient example, Dear Earth Mother, I see that before we attain peace on earth, we must first know and live Earth Peace.

The Trees
Exhaulted Sylvan Elders, you have my greatest respect and awe. You stand silently as time passes through your branches. Patiently, you provide infinite sanctuary to many creatures, sharing your wisdom of Place. You make the atmosphere usable for All. Hugging you is not enough, Beloved Tree Elders. It is much more fitting that I bow deeply at your feet.
