22 A Letter from the Earth Concerning Connection
April 20th, 2018For several years, I have been receiving Letters from the Earth. Now, she urges me to share them with you. I believe they come deep from the heart of God, the nurturing energy in all of creation. In February of 2016, my older brother fainted in his kitchen, hit his head on a hard tile floor and died the next day. `When I returned home from the funeral I was tired of winter and grieving. And then, I received this letter.
Received February 20, 2016
Dear Nancy,
Keep observing the earth.
You feel like a stranger in your own home today. Sometimes I think you humans are strangers on planet earth because you have become so disconnected from me.
Spend time outdoors and you will not be lonely. Walk to work and you will understand. Listen to the wind. Watch the flowers grow. Plant. Harvest. Observe the seasons.
Right now, we are reaching the end of winter in Ohio. The cold is leaving. Buds begin to appear. The ground thaws. Although the days are still cold, the seeds and plants are starting to awaken.
Nancy, don’t get too caught up in the human drama. You are of the earth. Clay animated. Stardust, if you will. This is the stuff of life. So you have all these modern trappings, but remember you emerged, just like a plant. And just like all living things, eventually, you die. So don’t be too caught up in all of your head stuff.
Take time to be and seek me in nature. Connect with fallow ground. Experiment a little more with bringing your own plot of land to life this year.
And remember to dance. Now is the time. Don’t wait for tomorrow.
Love,
Gaia
