I live in harmony with the earth.
In
2004 Wangari Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in
Kenya through the Green Belt Movement. In her acceptance lecture she
said, “We are called to assist the earth to heal her wounds and in the
process heal our own—indeed, to embrace the whole creation in all its
diversity, beauty, and wonder.” I am part of a beautiful web of
life; intricately woven so that my actions impact the entire web. I am a
good steward of the earth’s resources as I am a good steward of my own
body. Centered in divine wisdom, I use what I need in ways that support
the renewal of the earth. I experience a sense of peace living in
harmony with the earth.
The
earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and
trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that
it was good.—Genesis 1:12
