Paying reverence to all forms of creation,
Honoring everything affects every person, place, thing or situation,
That’s how our ancestors lived,
The sacredness of every thing and being is what they believed.
Modern man lives very stressful lives,
We spend time in nature to increase our vibes,
Being in nature is quite healing indeed,
But to truly heal, watch your every word, thought and deed.
The earth and its inhabitants is a total living system,
Humans comprise a small percentage of this system,
Yet our influence and effect on nature is so much larger in proportion,
See the sorry state of Nature resulting from our irresponsible action.
Something clearly isn’t right,
The system is out of balance, when are we going to see the light?
Yet balance is what nature has to offer,
A reflection of our world – both inner and outer.
Our ancestors depended on each other,
They counted on themselves and every tribal member,
They depended on everything and everyone around them,
They depended on the entire living system.
Our ancestors paid reverence to all forms of creation,
Yet look at us now, in the midst of conflict and separation,
Let’s learn from how our ancestors lived,
In the sacredness of one and all they believed.

great post! I could not agree more. We need more reflectiveness and inner peace in this world, and nature offers that to us.
Thanks Chris and yes, if only we all learn to better take care of Mother Earth…. Blessings, love & light, namaste! ~N
