Is Being On Earth A Life Sentence?

Do you believe that being on planet earth a life sentence? That it is a punishment?

We have this amazingly beautiful planet that we have the privilege of living on and yet so many people treat every day as if it is a prison sentence.

I know people who have told me, “I can’t wait to get off this stinking planet!” I thought what kind of energy is that sending out? They sent to everything around them that they want to leave the planet and don’t appreciate the planet.

I realized that it’s probably that they want to get away from some of the people from the planet. I get that. I get that there are a lot of people that I prefer not to be around. But it’s not that I want to get off the stinking planet. I would like to perhaps disassociate from those people. Did I say that politically correctly enough?

Even my husband has a T-shirt that says, “Sentenced to life on planet earth. “

Do you really feel that you are sentenced to life on earth? Is it really a life sentence?

Isn’t it more of a life privilege? You are allowed to live on this amazing planet and given the chance to care for it and be a part of it.

I get that we are here to offset what other people are doing. What if we can finally get to the point where we can shift that? We can shift the damage that’s been done and shift it into the contribution. Eventually, you get enough people who make those kinds of choices. I think it will shift it.

What I would like of course is to have that happened sooner rather than later and allow that all to start shifting and changing.

People talk about getting people to another planet “once we have destroyed Earth.” How about, rather than planning on destroying the planet, we support the planet and care for it.

The astronauts who were in space talk about looking back at the earth and realizing there aren’t any boundaries when you are in orbit. There is just land and water. There is such an appreciation for the earth when you see it from orbit or from the moon that you realize just how beautiful and how powerful and how potent and how fragile she is.

That has always made me want to contribute to the Earth.  Being a steward of the earth is what I like to do. Recognizing I can contribute and doing it every day.

Would you be willing to care for the Earth? To be a steward of the Earth means you are willing to care for it. You don’t think you own it or can simply use it; rather you are willing to care for the Earth, to contribute energy, support, love, and gratitude.

Now is the time.

The Earth needs you.

Show her some love.
