I AM FROM MOTHER EARTH
I am from Mother Earth when I participate in the mystery of love and when I let it be in its state of purity that governs my steps.
I am from Mother Earth when I help the homeless, when I give of myself as a symbol of reciprocity, when my compassion is unconditional.
I am from Mother Earth when I respect the great spirit that dwells in every kind of thing, when I reaffirm its essential intelligence.
I am from Mother Earth when I value what I am and I give thanks for each faculty assigned without greater regard than peace.
I am from Mother Earth when I am in correspondence with the elements of my body, this being done in her image and likeness.
I am from Mother Earth when I respect the life of my brothers in the trees and allow them to complete their life cycles.
I am from Mother Earth when my pets cease to be simple pets and become my spiritual brothers.
I am from Mother Earth when I adopt orchards, plants or flowers creating in my own house a sense of harmony with nature.
I am from Mother Earth when I am honored to set an example of sustainability, depositing any used or unusable object where appropriate.
I am from Mother Earth when I responsibly use the available energy resources, saving them to the fullest for the common good.
I am from Mother Earth when I recycle everything I use, causing all human production to be reused responsibly.
I am from Mother Earth when I visit the mountains and respect the biodiversity convinced that everything around us has life.
