Daily Mindful EARTHisms from Planet Blessed

April 19, 2022

Dear {First Name},

Today's EARTHism is for the Four Seasons.

Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of the four seasons? To start with, the seasons have an enormous influence on vegetation and plant growth. Winter is often a time of rest, while spring is alive with growth. Summer helps provide warmth and happiness while autumn is a wonderful time of regeneration. Let’s take a moment today to bless the seasons!

Please scroll down for our invitation to participate in an Earth Day program with John B. Cobb, author of 50 books who coined the word Earthism.

"Care deeply for the elements of nature, since your body is a miracle from which it was born." -- Harold W. Becker, The Love Foundation

Earthism for the Four Seasons

I bless all the beautiful seasons on Planet Earth for the happiness and joy they bring. Thank you for the role you play acting as a natural motivator for the actual process of change on the Planet. The four seasons help to punctuate the cycle of a full year by helping us adapt to different climates. I thank the seasons for reminding us that the process of change is a good thing. It’s a wonderful opportunity to evaluate, re-think and adapt. As humans, we are reflections of nature and of the universe. I thank you for this connection. I bless and thank the warm winds of summer and the cool breeze in the fall. I welcome in the freshness of spring and the crispness of the first snowfall. What a blessing it is to live on a planet with such beauty! As Yoko Ono once said, spring passes and we remember our innocence; summer passes and we remember our exuberance; autumn passes, and we remember our reverence and winter passes and we remember our perseverance.Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of the health of the planet? How can we be good stewards of the planet, when so much needs to be changed? The world is facing so many problems, from climate change to water scarcity, and the sad thing is, as humans we are responsible.
