Pachamama

Pachamama - Incan for Earth Mother, our beloved planet.
As we in the United States are preparing to celebrate Earth Day Tuesday 22 April, let’s all give thought to what we can do to help grow an even more beautiful planet for us and all future generations. Honoring Earth Mother gives value to your own life and the lives of everyone who lives here.

Pachamama is the basis of sweetness – in your honoring of Earth Mother in little things such as remembering to recycle everything possible with the services of your community – you help to enrich her sweetness. If we dis-honor her sweetness, Pachamama will be no more! 

We are beginning to see more and more signs on store doors, especially grocery stores, “Did You Remember Your Bags.”  So do you bring your bags? A collection of canvas bags is easy and inexpensive to come by these days, and generaly pays you back in a token refund at the checkout.

I’ve been drinking bottled water for decades – then a friend sent me a video showing plastic bottles on the shores of an un-personed remote island. The bottles were piled on the beaches having floated there from places unknown and I thought “Did one of mine get away and get into that pile!” In response, I’ve purchased a simple water filter – it has made life easier.

Since we all love gifts on our “Day!” perhaps honoring Earth Mother by planting a tree would be a perfect gift for her.  It would be a great experience to begin with the young ones in the family who can pass it on to the young ones in their families and so on for generations to come.

Love and Honor Pachamama, open your heart to her beautiful gardens and she will open doors for you.

Happy Earth Day! – Let’s make everyday Earth Day….
