Love Letter to the Earth

When we understand our suffering, it transforms.

We know that understanding our suffering gives rise to compassion for ourselves; compassion is essential for our happiness.

That’s why listening deeply to our own suffering is crucial. Then compassion will arise in us and we will suffer less and be able to help others more.

We don’t realize that it’s not fame, wealth, or power that will make us happy, but our level of mindful awareness.

Mindfulness and a deep awareness of the Earth can also help us to handle pain, difficult feelings, and emotions.

If we’re able to have this awareness when we sit, then what else do we need to sit for?

Knowing how to create moments of joy and happiness is crucial for our healing. It’s important to be able to see the wonders of life around us, to recognize all the conditions for happiness that already exist.

If we can ground ourselves, become one with the Earth and treat her with care, she will nourish us and heal our bodies and minds. Our physical and mental sicknesses will be cured, and we will have well-being in body and spirit.

Walking mindfully means walking with full awareness of this love. Filled with love and understanding, we can become deeply aware of every single thing on this planet.

Then, with the energy of mindfulness, we can recognize and embrace our feelings of anger, fear, and despair and transform them. We don’t allow ourselves to become overwhelmed by these unpleasant emotions.
