A Seven-Day Trip with the Earth 
Conversation with Mother Gaia

Please Look around now, and feel the Earth.
Cant you hear a huffing and puffing sound?
Cant you hear my sound of dying from fever and pollution?

Please cultivate the mind of loving me, the Earth.
That is the expression of love for me, who grows
all living beings including you.
As children love and care for their parents, please love me like that.
Then my love will be returned to all creatures on
the Earth as a wider stream and ocean.

From the conversation with Mother Gaia.
