Today is Earth Day…
THIS ROCK
We exist on a 4.5 billion year old rock, floating in an unfathomable expanse of nothing-ness, you and I.
We are magnetically held in place by an invisible force, along with 8 billion other people.
Every single thing that exists on this rock is without doubt a work of art, so intricately crafted, we will never truly discover the scope of wonder within.
We are made of the same elements as everything that naturally surrounds us, just shaken up differently and oh so magnificently.
Look at us, my friends.
We are breathtaking.
Our breath alone, is breathtaking.
Everything you are doing right now - reading, feeling, understanding, is fascinatingly complex.
And yet we spend our days worrying about things that will not survive.
Things that are of no significance at all, big-picture.
Walk around your world today with awe in your eyes and really see what you are living.
Every aspect of this life is nothing short of astonishing.
And this rock we are clinging to with ease, is astounding.
Eyes open, reach out, breathe deep, take it all in.
This rock, our home, will know each of us for only a heartbeat in its timeline.
Leave only love.
Live with only gratitude.
Look with only wonder.
There is much to wonder at.
