Healing Time on Earth
It is always healing time on Earth. There are no days off. It is a 24/7 365.25 days of operation. It can sure be overwhelming when we see what needs to be done. We humans have messed up the planet, so we get to clean it up and heal it. There are many organizations with which you can choose to get involved. Here is a list of some:
Friends of the Earth, · The Cousteau Society, · The Wilderness Society, · National Space Institute, · Save the Children, · World Wildlife Fund, · Friends for All Children, · The Alaska Coalition, · Nuclear Safeguards, · New Earth Exposition, · The American Indian Heritage, · Simpatico, · Environmental Defense Fund, · Fund for Animals, · Sierra Club, · Environmental Action, · Alaska Wilderness Preservation, – National Wildlife Federation, – Wildlife Conservation Society.
Check them out and see if you can get involved. There is also a lot of personal healing to be done. In truth, the personal healing can accelerate the global healing. When we feel good about ourselves and life, we generally make better decisions. These decisions can help us do our part in helping Mother Earth. If you are feeling less than, find someone and share your heart. It is so cathartic to let others in on our pain and suffering. When someone truly listens to us, something inside begins to shift. We then know at least one person knows what is going on inside of us. When we find trust like this, personal healing can begin. Then if we need to seek a therapeutic answer to our problems, we are better prepared to do the work.
John Denver sang a wonderful song titled Healing Time on Earth, here are the lyrics:
Let the mountains talk
Let the rivers run
There is wisdom here
There is much to learn
There is much to know
Much to understand
In this healing time
All across the land
You have heard my songs
Oh so many years
You have laughed with me
Washed away my tears
You have shared my joy
You have felt my pain
In this healing time
Walk with me again
Through these darker days
On this narrow line
Help me find my way
Help me see the signs
I am not afraid
I am not alone
You have taught me well
You have brought me home
Let the mountains speak
Let the rivers run
As the world awakes
To the rising sun
In each brand new day
In our own rebirth
In this healing time
On our mother earth
Let the mountains talk
And let the rivers run
There is wisdom here
There’s so much to learn
In each brand new day
In our own rebirth
In this healing time
For our mother earth
In each brand new day
In our own rebirth
In this healing time
Here on mother earth
Come on, we can all do this. At the very least, the next time you see a piece of trash on the ground, pick it up and recycle it. And have recycle bins in your home. If you see water that should not be running, turn it off. Car pool. Make your next car be a hybrid or better yet, electric. Change light bulbs. Lower your thermostat and wear a sweater. Lower the thermostat in your fridge. Go organic. There are dozens of ways we can all help. Just go online and look it up. Now is the time for healing planet Earth.
