I commit to living in harmony with the earth.
By
physical standards, I am separate from other things on this earth—the
ground that supports and feeds me, the water I drink, even the air I
breathe. When I shift into spiritual awareness, I recognize the oneness
of the tapestry of life. Not one thread can be pulled without changing
the whole. I contemplate life teeming in the rainforest and the ocean, as well
as the icy reaches of the polar caps. The ecological actions I take
ripple out to support elements in this living organism we call home. I
am grateful for the bountiful home we share, cocreated through the
activity of Spirit. Recognizing the oneness of all creation, I commit to being a good steward of the gift of life expressing on this planet.
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.—Psalm 24:1
