Nature's Abstract Art - 9

"At this very moment, the Earth is above you, below you, all around you, and even inside you. The Earth is everywhere. You may be used to thinking of the Earth as only the ground beneath your feet. But the water, the sea, the sky, and everything around us comes from the Earth. Everything outside us and everything inside us comes from the Earth. We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies. The water in our flesh, our bones, and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies all come from the Earth and are part of the Earth. The Earth is not just the environment we live in. We are the Earth and we are always carrying her within us.



Realizing this, we can see that the Earth is truly alive. We are a living, breathing manifestation of this beautiful and generous planet. Knowing this, we can begin to transform our relationship to the Earth. We can begin to walk differently and to care for her differently. We will fall completely in love with the Earth. When we are in love with someone or something, there is no separation between ourselves and the person or thing we love. We do whatever we can for them and this brings us great joy and nourishment. That is the relationship each of us can have with the Earth. That is the relationship each of us must have with the Earth if the Earth is to survive, and if we are to survive as well."

~Thich Nhat Hanh, Love Letter To The Earth

Our Home- The Earth

Our Home: The Earth

Our beautiful Earth is home to all species large and small, mankind being no exception. It only makes sense that we take good care of the resources and pay heed to the welfare of this precious Blue Planet. This was a concept rarely considered before the 60’s and 70’s. Plastics for one had gained huge popularity in 60’s and since then have became a bane, something that is now choking the Earth. There is a ray of hope however, for recently they have discovered a mushroom that eats plastics. But I digress; fortunately since the 70’s and 80’s we have gained the conscientious, empathetic understanding that unites everyone in our common desire to save the Earth from this headlong race to destruction. Many organizations are now thriving by employing earth friendly products and processes. I recently visited the Green Living Show in Toronto, and emerged filled with optimism for the health and welfare of our common home: the Earth. 

Here are few images from the Green Living Show:

Nature's Abstract Art-2

“The symbol of heaven is the circle, and that of earth is the square. Thus squareness is a primary quality of the earth. On the other hand, movement in a straight line, as well as magnitude, is a primary quality of the Creative.

“All square things have their origin in a straight line and in turn form solid bodies. In Mathematics, when we discriminate between lines, planes and solids, we find that rectangular planes result from straight lines, and cubic magnitudes from rectangular planes. The Receptive accommodates itself to the qualities of the Creative and makes them its own. Thus a square develops out of a straight line and a cube out of a square. This is compliance with the laws of the Creative; nothing is taken away, nothing added. Therefore the receptive has no need of a special purpose of its own or any effort, yet everything turns out, as it should.

“Nature creates all beings without erring: this is its four-squareness. It tolerates all creatures equally: this is its greatness. Therefore it attains what is right for all without artifice or special intent. Man achieves the height of wisdom when all that he does is as self-evident as nature.”
