Hello dear friends,
I have been rather busy over the last week as we have been planting out young plants and sowing seeds while we have had such good weather. So, I have not had time to put together a post So I am refreshing one I made in 2013. Today Saturday I was wandering through the halls of my reader to catch new posts that are in there from your good selves. Where I came across JoAnna’s post which reminded me it was Earth Day tomorrow as she hugged a tree and was joining ‘Grandmothers For Peace’, in the park later today..
Earth Day began in 1970 to bring awareness about Environmental Issues. Forty-Eight Years later and those Issues are not getting better, they seem to be getting worse.
In my poem and post below, there are many things we can do to change and help our environment, it is no good us waiting for change. We have to change our consumer habits and cut down on plastic waste, and really think how our actions are affecting nature.
Have a wonderful Earth Day tomorrow all of you. Apologies to those who read this back in 2013. But I think we need to hear the words again..
Enjoy the poem and the top photos were taken by myself in Austria some years ago.. The Chemtrails were also taken by me over my home.
Love and Light.. Sue ❤
Oh Earth Mother oh Earth Mother we come to you this day
We come to you in gratitude to honour you and say
Thank you for your bounties and wonderful gifts
For your rivers and your mountains and desert sand that drifts
Your forests full of life from insect to humming-bird
Thank you for all wonders like migrating wildlife herds
Of Wildebeest and Elephant whose numbers now decline
I hope you will forgive the errors of Mankind
I’m sorry for the pain, for the scars upon your skin
Forgive us for the wars we’ve waged,Mankind will never win
I wish I could take back all the poisons from your skies
And undo all the damage as we Humans tell our lies
I hear you creak and groan as you shudder and you shake
I feel your falling tears in the rain and snow you make.
You show us with your storms the power you possess
Oh Earth Mother sweet Gaia your beauty you have brought
Please forgive your children whose damage we have wrought
Your beauty in each flower in the Seasons now all mixed
Have we stepped beyond the boundaries our damage never fixed
Oh Earth Mother our Earth Mother we come to you with Love
We come to ask forgiveness as we remember we are One.
On April 22nd is Earth Day Earth Day was founded back in the 70’s, We are all now more aware how our planet’s climate is changing, each of us have witnessed weather patterns that have gone haywire. We see daily the pollutants in our skies, Rivers and Oceans.
There are many things we each can do to help the environment, as we recycle, and embrace greener alternatives.. In our own area School children have been on a clear up campaign collecting rubbish from the streets, parks and hedgerows . It’s also good to see the junior school with their own allotment near our own growing their own produce learning how to grow their own food and care for plants and wild life.
One of the greatest things each of us can do which costs nothing and that is to respect Nature, take your rubbish home with you, Don’t pick wild flowers. If you fish don’t leave your line and hooks in the water.. Simple things like helping Mother nature along, planting Bee and Butterfly friendly shrubs and plants in your garden. Do not use insecticide, that affects the Bees..
Encourage Hedgehogs who keep your slugs down by leaving gaps in your garden fences. Many little things go a long way to helping Heal the World.. Respecting our environment in which we live and learning to respect each other will go along way to creating a better future for our Children to live and grow in our world..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have Hedgehogs

Hello Sue and Marina,
I agree with you that until we apologize and acknowledge humanity’s “transgressions” on Mother Nature, we cannot hope to change in some fundamental ways towards more sustainable living.
I would like to acknowledge Sue’s multiple contributions on Earth Day by hyperlinking all of your current and previous publications about Earth Day to my special post at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/soundeagle-in-earth-day/
Indeed, every day is Earth Day!

Sue that was lovely. I too wish everyone would stop and ask forgiveness then go about trying to be better stewards. Our slugs have been greatly reduced by the wildlife we have protected in the field while we work around their homes, leaving them some space. The little ones are learning quickly why nature needs protection, so hopefully the next generation will treat the earth better than we have.

Yes I dislike picking wild flowers they are so needed in our hedgerows for the Bees and butterflies.. I read an article in the other day how councils cut the grass verges too severly and at the wrong time not allowing the windflowers time to reseed or bloom.. You go to places like Austria and all their meadow land fields are full to blooming with wild flowers.. the above photo is one I took in 08 and fields were like this for grazing cattle .. the natural meadow is now a thing of the past as the earth contains so many chemicals to kill off weeds none will now grow.. Such a shame! we loose out all ways

That was my mission with this blog, and my intentions have shaped what you read….. For we live in times that for many will be difficult in the very near future and I want to try in my own small way to open up peoples awareness as to the workings of this world in this reality.. At times I touch upon subjects others perhaps are uncomfortable with such as life after death… But you see there is no death.. not in the real sense,.. Just Life after Life….. 🙂 and should you wish to explore further look under my categories listings 🙂

Lovely post Sue 😀 Earth seems to be in big trouble right now. Once again I am living in a state if rising anxiety about nuclear warfare obliterating us and our world. Wasn’t reassured this morning reading an article on What to do in the case of a bike strike on the UK. Let’s hope Earth day will help to remind the powers that be that we only have one Earth and if we damage it that way we won’t be around to see if it can repair itself over the decades. I’ve been learning about how to garden btw 🌱Growing my own veg like you do. Very interesting. I had hoped to give it a try this growing season but even container growing methods are a no no for now due to the work being done on the house and garden. So further education will have to suffice till it’s finished. Hedgehogs are lovely😊We had one in our garden -caught him rustling his way out of the garden hedge one evening😀Icewolfie hugs xx

One reason I’m trying to get back into blogging proper – as you said – being creative is best. It really does help. Not sure about the green paws lol but they are perfect for digging and getting very earthy and dirty 😃 I’ve been having fun exploring gardening things and discovering a whole new world of interest in the process. It’s exciting touring the gardening centres and gardening stores deciding what items will be right for me, and learning about the ones I didn’t know existed! Currently wondering how much of my landlords garden I can get away with digging up lol 😉 Maybe if I tell him it’s so I can a nuclear fallout shelter!! 🤔And I must say you’re gardening posts have played a big part in sparking this new interest 😀 Big green-pawed Wolfie hugs xx

Glad I have had a little hand in triggering your garden green thumbs Wolfie.. I shouldn’t be bothered with the fall out shelter. I would sooner disintegrate into fragments that survive such a catastrophe. Live for today. One thing I learn as I grow older each year, time is precious and a great book to read if you are sunny yourself in your garden is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. 🙂 I posted on my Garden blog what we were doing a week or so ago in the allotments.. And you can easily plant veggies in tubs or potatoes in potato bags etc.. To save on too much paw digging! .. You can plant kidney beans too in a tub and use canes in a wigwam shape to train and climb up etc. They provide shade and colour with their red flowers too.. Lots of things you can soon grow..
We are off tomorrow, weather willing to plant out our cabbage etc..
Looks like our Spring cabbage suffered due to cold weather which we planted last autumn.. Its a win some lose some game often.. But we learn as we go..
Happy Gardening Wolfie.. xxx ❤

You are of course right about living for today Sue 🙄I have been a little over anxious in general of late and have had to take a step back and re-evaluate before things get out of hand 🤔 I was looking at growing spuds in bags lol -there were a lot in the shops – bags and composty type things though not the actual spuds! But they’ve gone again now! I wonder how spuds in tubs would work!! 🥔 I was out looking at containers yesterday. Was meant to be buying bird food for the gannet-giant sized appetite birds i serve lol but alas forgot again in the hunt for containers! Slugs are a major issue too – it’s slug city in the garden 1st hint of rain. And they climb! Onto window ledges…and bin lids (watch bin lid handle very carefully when opening!!) …there’s a wonderful array of slug-Snuffing materials out there I must say but perhaps I can find a less unpleasant way to protect my containers😉Green fingered Wolfie hugs😀

Sweet Sue! I loved your poem in 2013 (we’ve known each other for 5 years!?!?) and I still love it know and it’s more relevant than ever. I love the rhyming and rhythm you put into it and the love you have for Mother Earth.
We humans have so much to learn about consumption and not over-doing things as we do. Of course, my favorite teachers for how to responsibly live in harmony with the planet are our Native American Indian brothers and sisters. Their ways of life so often call to me and their songs and chants – like your poetry – tug at the heart and encourage unity and harmony.
We must turn away from our greed and our tendencies to consume. If we don’t, I think Mother Earth will deal a hard blow if we cannot and will not heed her warnings. Sigh.
In any case, I’ve been thinking about you sososo much. What I journey I had in the last couple of weeks. I’m still catching up from being gone and starting the meditation course. It’s incredible and wonderful and all the things, but finding a new rhythm and balance has been a bit challenging. Ah, the ebbs and flows of life, no?
I know your garden is probably already shows all the signs of love that you put into it. I can see all the beautiful colors and fruits of your labor in my mind’s eye. I’ll hop over to your other blog as I get a chance to see the pretty images and photos.
Happy Earth Day, Dear One. May you have a wonderful rest of your weekend and walk in the light. Sending you hugs from across the great Atlantic pond. xoxo

Big smiles, no wonder that left a lasting impression.. Shows how passionate she was about our Earth Mother.. I feel the same.. I went a walk the other weekend and the amount of rubbish people had dropped in litter.. No respect or thought.. We really have got to start to change our ways..
Sending HUGS.. and thank you so much Tina.. xx

Super poem Sue, and great to see the garden waking up – even the hedgehogs – after the long chilly winter. Best wishes to you

Once again I too am involved with my gardens, intent on creating Love here so that it radiates out to the world. I hugged a tree yesterday during my hike at one of my parks I go to, just leaning against it, tears in my eyes, with so much Gratitude in my Heart. I’m going to try to photograph some of the early Spring flowers today and get them posted hopefully over the weekend. NOT easy to be outside in gardens and here as well …. you know this, Sue! Bless you in your gardens! 🌸🌸🌸

Happy belated Earth Day, Sue. I must confess I had trouble feeling good about Earth Day, this year.

I know what you mean Rob.. But many are now at least becoming aware of the plight she is in.. All we can do is change our own ways and live in hope others start to do the same.

Earth is such a stunning place, and your post from 2013 reminds us of that. There is the sun, sky, stars, moon and the universe and beyond which gives the world perspective. Hope you get back in the groove of writing and gardening. Always a matter of time until we are creative again. Hugs 🙂

Your poem includes words of forgiveness for the wrongs mankind has done to the Earth and I understand what you are saying… We can still come back from the damage done… But we must align together to do so… Keep sharing this beautiful message, Sue. May your words be heard by all, and not only on Earth Day but also the other 364 days of the year. Another beautiful post, my friend ❤ 🙂

Sue, I missed this post and apparently others. It seems you aren’t showing up in my reader, or in email notifications anymore. Ack! This has happened with others, even though I’m following. Will try to remedy….
Anyway, glad I found this one. Another beautiful poem and prose! 🌸💞

Not to worry Betty.. the same is happening with me.. In fact I came across some I have followed for years I see now I was not following so had to refollow their blogs. And I had not stopped following them.. Sometimes I press unfollow and follow again to see if that helps.. but I have had this problem on going for years.. Happy you enjoyed..
And never worry about missing posts Betty I miss so many.. We can not possibly catch every one.. I caught how many I followed the other day it was 367 blogs.. No way will I ever catch every post.. But I often try.. ❤

Thanks for understanding, Sue. (I’ve tried unfollowing and re-following but it never fixes things.) And I know what you mean about trying to keep up here. It’s impossible, but like you I often try.
Thank you again for your ivy photo! ❤️
