21. A Letter from the Earth on Valentine’s Day

February 14th, 2016

On February 1, my older brother, Bruce, fainted in his kitchen, hit his head on the hard tile floor and never regained consciousness. My brother, a marathon runner who was only 63 and thoroughly enjoying retirement, suddenly left us. My family gathered in Dallas to say good-bye, trying to comprehend this great tragedy. And I’m still very sad, but the one thing that also was so good about that gathering was the love we shared and continue to share with each other. So, when I received this Valentine from the Earth, it resonated with me deeply. The earth continues to teach me so much. I pray I can lavish love as she asks.

A Letter from the Earth on Valentine’s Day

Dear Nancy

On Valentine’s Day, I want you to know I love you. That is the spark of all life, you know.

From the beginning, I’ve longed for someone to talk with, to be with, to create with. You fulfill all my imaginings when you love.

So keep on loving. Please cherish life. So fragile, so amazing, so spectacular, until you, too, spiral out of this world.

Each person, each animal, all of this created world, I ask you to lavish with love. Your scripture tells the greatest is love and it’s so true.

I celebrate the love you humans share and I’m there in the midst of it, cheering you on and beating your hearts and celebrating with you the miracles love unfolds.

Yes, Nancy, love is the greatest aspect of all my creation. Be love. Share love. Fulfill all my dreams for you.

I love you,
Gaia God
