Mother Earth has been patiently waiting for our awakening.

The Maya understand that with every step we take, we are walking on sacred land. I’x reminds us that from the moment we took our first breath of life, the Earth has gifted us with nourishment, shelter, medicine, beauty and everything our being longs for. It is because of her that we have beautiful sunsets, the humming of bees, and the power of thunder. How could we destroy a Mother who so lovingly provides us with gifts every day?

We lost too much when we replaced the singing of birds with alarm clocks and the hushing of the wind with car horns. You simply cannot perceive the sacredness of something you don’t know, and we stopped knowing our Mother Earth. Today, take a moment to go outside and sit with the Earth, feel her embrace and give her the utmost gratitude.
