Love Letter to the Earth

Every second of life is filled with precious jewels. Those jewels are our awareness of the sky, the Earth, the trees, the hills, the river, the ocean, and all the miracles around us.

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

If we can acknowledge the fact that we’re suffering, then we have a chance to transform that suffering.

With awareness of the Earth’s generosity, we can generate a pleasant feeling.

In order to enjoy our time together on this flight toward the future, we have to put on our seat belts of mindfulness that will keep us right here in the present so that we can experience life deeply each moment.

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.

When you are completely relaxed, healing will take place on its own. There’s no healing without relaxation.

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

When we understand our suffering, it transforms.
