Mother Earth

Native American spirituality refers to our planet as “Mother Earth”. What does this mean exactly? Well, take a look around you. Our earth gives birth to plants and animals on a daily basis. Our planet sustains our lives by providing food sources and air to breathe. She protects us with the ozone layer and gives us resources to build homes. She nourishes us with the water that flows from her and showers us with rain and sunshine.

When you think of all of the things that Mother Earth does for us, it is a little harder to disrespect her. Would you throw garbage in your mother’s face? Would you waste her precious resources with no regard to your descendants who will have to make use of it as well? Would you look at all your mother has done for you and let her slowly fade away?

What do you do to show your “Mother” you appreciate her? Come talk with other concerned women in the Women’s Nest Women’s Forum, where motherhood and our planet get the respect they so rightfully deserve!
