A walk through the forest
Or a stroll by the sea,
Small things that can do wonders
For both you and me.
It’s not just the exercise, you see?
And it’s not just the sun, or just the fresh air.
It is all of that, and it is so much more.
It’s us, and the sun, and it’s nature everywhere.
Because with the fast paced lives we’ve been leading,
Along with the “ruler of the world” mindset,
We forgot that we’re also a part of nature.
We’re destroying our Mother – the Earth,
Destroying our Brothers – the Animals,
Destroying our Sisters – the Plants and the Trees.
We forgot what it feels like to be one with the Earth,
We forgot what it’s like to walk in nature
Without killing an animal, without littering the world.
While power and money blind us, rule us and corrupt us,
We poison our waters, we’re killing us all.
On this Mother Earth Day
Go back to what we always were.
Take a walk through the forest
Or a stroll by the sea.
Sit down, take a deep breath,
Really feel the world around you.
And always, always remember:
Mother Earth is filled with life and magic,
Just like you and me.
