getting back to nature

the other day me and my wonderful wife danielle took our kids to a park called flat rock ,it was the most beautiful place i had seen in along time ,
well this lead me to thinking as a pagan/ wican shouldnt we take time to visit nature more often , since it was a gift from our blessed mother earth , and even though shes all mighty she needs our help,
when was the last time you took the time to get out and visit nature [ i mean truly visit it not just glance at as you pass by , i know for me it has een along time way to long in fact , so i made a pac with mother nature and my better half to do so more often , even in this beautiful park i mentioned while walking i noticed trash thrown in the stream , and yes i did pick it up , and the whole time we were there i gave thanks to mother earth , so im wondering what are some things we can do to help out mother earth? i think we all could take time out of our busy lives and just get out side and enjoy the nature that has been given to us , before its taken away ,
take the time to smell the trees , flowers and such , i found myself while there i feed off of the trees it was so cool [ and the first time i had done a feeding from a tree, it had charged up my battieries very fast ,
as i was there taking it all in ,i found myself asking mother earth what i can do to help , to keep places like this around [ all im asking is for all of us to get out and enjoy what has been given to us and as you do so give thanks to mother earth for the wonderful gift she so freely gave us . blessed b

It is a beautiful thing when you can get lost within the time of nature itself. It refreshes the soul and the spirit, And yes, you have life once again. We are a world that stay so busy, that we do forget and take it for gated the simple thing of life around us. Once again I thank the God in you for reminding us to stop and honor the earth we live in today.

I could feel your love for our Mother Earth radiating from within your words, flowing strait from your heart. I beleive that if we take just a few short moments a day, or even once or twice a week for that matter , and just send and give back a little of the positive and healing energies to our Mother Earth , that it will and does make a diffrence.No matter how small it may be , every little bit counts.; ▶ Reply to This
