Mother Earth ??????!

The creation of Planet Earth after a big celestial event and the evolution of biotic forms from abiotic elements, starting with the unicellular organism, proves our oneness with nature and the universe.

The recognition of our oneness with nature and the universe has important implications for how we live our lives and interact with the world around us. It impacts our happiness and well-being.

We humans are indeed an integral part of the natural world. Our actions have a direct impact on the well-being and happiness of the planet itself and that of the living co-inhabitants. Novelist Wendell Berry articulated it well:

“The earth is what we all have in common.”

Think of it: Plants rely on sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil to survive and grow; Animals depend on plants for food and shelter and even each other, and we humans depend on both.

Plants and animals play important roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems and even the health of the planet. It reminds us that humans are not separate from nature, but a part of it. Naturalist Stephen Harper captured it well:

“Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We do not have nature, we are nature.”

The concept of oneness through the interconnectedness of all things in the universe leads to this amazing web of relationships that exist between living organisms, the environment, and the earth itself.

Ultimately, our interdependent co-existence is the living symbol of our oneness. It reminds us that our actions have a direct impact on the well-being of the planet and all its co-inhabitants.

By embracing this oneness, we can co-create a more balanced world which will ensure the much-desired sustainability leading to happiness, well-being, and success for ourselves and for future generations.

On 'World Earth Day', let's take the pledge:

"Together, we will nurture our oneness and connection with nature to take care of the mother of all mothers — Mother Earth."
