I cherish the Earth.

Today, I take a moment to consider the Earth.

I see her as most do; as a planet, a rock with foliage, gases, and atmospheres.

I see her as a part of the galaxy, the solar system, the Universe. I see her as my home.

I thank God for creating the Earth.

I acknowledge the beauty that I see around me in this moment.

I feel the warmth of a spring sun on my cheeks, and close my eyes against the blissful golden rays.

I hear the chatter of birds, the hum of insects, and the thrum of life.

I acknowledge the power all around me in this second.

I give thanks for the feel of grass and roots, of solid ground, of the layers that make up the planet.

I am thankful.

As I experience this moment, I appreciate all that it does for us. I whisper gratitude for each and every unique detail.

I acknowledge my responsibility. I apologize for ways I have not treated the Earth well.

In this moment, I am accepting my responsibility.

I am a warrior. I am a defender. I am a protector.

I see the amazing opportunities I have to nourish and cherish the Earth.

I feel anticipation and determination. I am making a difference here, in this moment.

I make a vow to protect and cherish the Earth in this moment.

Today, I give thanks to the Earth. I see all that it does and I vow to protect it.
