Dear Earth,
Thanks so much for everything you do for me. Honestly, I couldn’t live without you. Everything I am I owe to you; all of my best stuff comes from the field and the pond and the sea – from the seasons changing and from the skies — from the sun you surround and the moon that makes you wild. I am frequently stunned by your acts of generosity, and humbled by the way you hold me up, yet still find time for the rest of the world.
It’s man that I’m struggling with a bit. Well, our limitations, I should say – in the face of all we are capable of. Like how we haven’t figured out how to make a comfortable bra. Or discovered some natural vitamin we can pop to ward off ticks and mosquitos. And mostly, I can’t understand why we can’t do more to help you out. I’m sorry for that. I really am. For all the times I’ve popped a k-cup or walked by an empty beer can without picking it up.
Anyway, a day in your honor seems ridiculous, of course – when we owe pretty much every day to you. But I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for it all. There’s so much more of you I hope to get to know, and there’s so much more we can give to you. May it all work out between us – and until then, let’s both keep turning toward the light.
Pamela
