Prayer has been made to Mother Earth that she blesses us with the knowledge required to enjoy the treasures of nature without disturbing the environmental balance. [Atharva Veda]

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. [Psalm 24.1]

Earth teaches me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth Teaches me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall… Earth teaches me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring. [William Alexander]

Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet. [Thich Nhat Hanh]
