We Are the Earth
The ground luminosity,
the clear, clear light was still,
until the universal mind,
awakening from its slumber,
birthed the seven sacred lights
from the primordial ground of existence.
From her web,
Grandmother Spider witnessed
the great awakening,
knowing that it was her time
to begin her dance of creation,
she danced across the sky with the seven sacred lights,
spinning her webs of connection throughout existence,
birthing the universe.
As the stars, planets,
light and darkness were born,
and birthed their children,
Grandmother Spider wove her webs of connection
between every living thing,
weaving every element of life to one another…
Earth, air, fire, water, ether,
plants, animals, humans, crystals, and stones.
Webs connecting past, present, and future,
places in time…
some long-forgotten,
some yet to come,
and the sacred breath of this moment,
where we find ourselves now,
the birthplace of our future selves.
We are one with Mother Earth.
Our body is her body.
As we breathe, she breathes.
Our breath is her breath.
As we cry, she cries.
Our tears are her tears.
As we heal, Mother Earth heals.
Our healing is her healing.
