I'll never forget a Native American Medicine Wheel gathering in the mountains of Alabama where a major emphasis was on honoring the Earth Mother and showing respect for her gifts. I can still hear the chant, "The Earth is our mother, we must take care of her...the Earth is our Mother, we will take care of her." Well, we humans must be a disappointment to our Earth Mother. But it's not too late to rededicate ourselves to taking care of her. There's nothing like "the urgency of now," and the urgency is real—regardless of what the right wing naysayers would have us believe. Earth Day is the perfect day to commit to a higher state of consciousness— the perfect day to begin advocating for protecting our Earth Mother. She needs our voices. Stay tuned to environmental legislation and call or email your Congressmen and Senators before votes are taken. Contact your state legislators and governor for state issues. Join an environmental protection group. "The Earth is our mother, we must take care of her...."
