How to renew and rejuvenate the earth

The other day I had an experience that assisted me in seeing a connection that we have with mother earth that I had never appreciated before.

I was with a group of people and we were doing "Soul Readings".
(If you have never had the opportunity to do this... you have missed out on blessings)

The very first Soul Reading I had was with a young lady that explained that she loved connecting with me because I was like sitting next to a calm mountain lake and it assisted her to feel calm.

As I basked in the moment with her I realize that not only was the calm that she felt enjoyable that it was rejuvenating and refreshing to my soul. I realize now that this is what the earth experiences everything we take the time to pause and notice its beauty. Every time that we simply bash in the moment of stillness and oneness with it.

Many times I have taken walks into the mountain and noticed the littered path.
I have never appreciated the careless, thoughtless way people have treated what for some is sacred ground. (For me, the mountains are holy in that they are stretching toward heaven and allow us the same privledge). I have noticed the physical trail, but now I see that those same people also left an energy trail and a scare.

It is like coming home from college and only asking your mother to do the laundry
or if you could use the car. Leaving a mother feeling unappreciated and less than.
Every mother longs for connection and appreciation.

It is no different with our mother Earth. She longs for your acknowledgment and love.
It does not take some grand act. Simply the pleasure of you noticing the joy of the moment.
