““Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.””
In some Native languages the term for plants translates to “those who take care of us.”
When we begin to redefine our relationship to the land, to the earth, to nature from one that collects and extracts and commodifies to one that reciprocates and gives back and respects the intelligence of living plants and their consciousness, this is when true reformation and healing occurs.
