"We too can see that the Earth is a living being and not an inanimate object. She is not inert matter. We often call our planet Mother Earth. Seeing the Earth as our mother helps us to realize her true nature. The Earth is not a person, yet she is indeed a mother who has given birth to millions of different species, including the human species," writes Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hahn. The Earth incarnates all of the virtues that we honor: strength, stability, patience, and compassion. She is Mother Earth Bodhisattva who gives us the air we breathe, the water that we drink, the food that we eat.

Giving thanks for all these blessings can be a part of our daily walking:

"With each step, I come home to the Earth.

With each step, I return to my source.

With each step, I take refuge in Mother Earth."

When we walk, our parents and ancestors accompany us along with our animal, plant, and mineral ancestors. We never walk alone. We walk for our enlarged family and for the entire world.

Thich Nhat Hanh laments that in the name of progress, we have hurt the Earth and caused her to suffer. We must heal ourselves and heal the planet at the same time. To do this, we can do the following practices: mindful breathing, sitting meditation, drinking and eating mindfully, and walking meditation. Nhat Hahn also suggests we write love letters to the earth; he shares ten examples. He ends the book with his cosmic vision of a spirituality we can all practice together.

Love Letter to the Earth

By Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh on how Mother Earth is present in every cell of our bodies.

A Book Excerpt on Nurturing

Beloved Mother of All Things

"Dear Mother Earth,

"I bow my head before you as I look deeply and recognize that you are present in me and that I'm a part of you. I was born from you and you are always present, offering me everything I need for my nourishment and growth. My mother, my father, and all my ancestors are also your children. We breathe your fresh air. We drink your clear water. We eat your nourishing food. Your herbs heal us when we're sick.

"You are the mother of all beings. I call you by the human name Mother and yet I know your mothering nature is more vast and ancient than humankind. We are just one young species of your many children. All the millions of other species who live — or have lived — on Earth are also your children. You aren't a person, but I know you are not less than a person either. You are a living breathing being in the form of a planet.

"Each species has its own language, yet as our Mother you can understand us all. That is why you can hear me today as I open my heart to you and offer you my prayer.

"Dear Mother, wherever there is soil, water, rock or air, you are there, nourishing me and giving me life. You are present in every cell of my body. My physical body is your physical body, and just as the sun and stars are present in you, they are also present in me. You are not outside of me and I am not outside of you. You are more than just my environment. You are nothing less than myself.

"I promise to keep the awareness alive that you are always in me, and I am always in you. I promise to be aware that your health and well-being is my own health and well-being. I know I need to keep this awareness alive in me for us both to be peaceful, happy, healthy, and strong.

"Sometimes I forget. Lost in the confusions and worries of daily life, I forget that my body is your body, and sometimes even forget that I have a body at all. Unaware of the presence of my body and the beautiful planet around me and within me, I'm unable to cherish and celebrate the precious gift of life you have given me. Dear Mother, my deep wish is to wake up to the miracle of life. I promise to train myself to be present for myself, my life, and for you in every moment. I know that my true presence is the best gift I can offer to you, the one I love."
