I am many things and go by many names Terra, Sol, Gaia, but you know me as Earth.

I am the mother to you all.

From my womb you were born and when you die you return to me.

Out of all my children none so confuses as those who take the name Humans do.

Such a complex paradox, givers of life and destroyers of it.

You pollute my rivers and oceans.

Trash my forests.

And consume all that I give at an unending rate.

Kill thousands of your fellow creatures for little to know reason.

Some creatures you fear more than others like wolves or sharks.

Others you care for like dogs and cats.

Your capabilities are limitless yet you hamper your own progress.

For all your faults you have many redeeming features.

Kindness

Love

Compassion

Empathy

Charity

In these things you should show to others of your kind and to other brothers and sisters in the many forests of

world.

Treat your mother with alittle more respect and help one another.
