Join the world for Earth Hour on Saturday, March 28, between 8:30 – 9:30pm in your local time zone. Here is your chance to vote Earth by simply switching off your lights for one hour. For more info go here.
Earth hour is not just about sitting in the dark for one hour out of the year. What it’s really about is showing that people all around the world are deeply concerned about climate change and they are making it clear that they are committed to finding solutions to this growing problem.
Tomorrow night they will be sending a strong message that they expect their leaders to take action before it’s too late.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Happy Spring Equinox!
“Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia”. -James Lovelock
The Spring Equinox
“The figure stood motionless in the garden whispering. “Spirit of Gaia, You who have guided my every footstep, you whose spirit has sheltered and guarded my life, I honor you.
The exact moment of the sun’s rising was marked by bird song filling the air with sound. She stood silent with her head bowed. Her small hands held a white stone etched with tiny marks and symbols. As her fingers touched each symbol with reverence, her eyes glowed with a soft light.
Ancient ones, keepers of secrets, wise ones, I honor your presence,” she whispered. She placed the stone gently on the grass. Mother, come to us in our time of need, come to us in our hour of darkness. Come to us, teach us that our strength comes from the earth, the sky, and the sea. Teach us that we are part of the great magic that binds us all together.
Over head the trees sighed as she listened to the secret music of the wind. She loves the springtime filled with so much potential and so many possibilities. With a small gesture of her hand, she turned and left the garden. Well, she mused, we shall see . . . we shall see.” -Rose Arizmendi – The Deep Magic of Gaia.
Everyday Goddessing is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside each of us. – Rose Arizmendi
Patience
“It is time for us to kiss the earth again, It is time to let the leaves rain from the skies, Let the rich life run to the roots again.” – Robinson Jeffers
Fearless Mushrooms
“Nature alone is antique and the oldest art a mushroom.”
-Thomas Carlyle
“Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.” – Black Elk, Oglala Lakota, 1930
