Letter to Mother Earth by Angie Skelhorn

A letter I wrote on Earth Day to our Mother Earth I wanted to share.

Greetings Mother Earth,

I wish I could say hope all is well with you, but I know it's not. Our disrespectful wants and needs in developing our communities and business – we do as we please, ignoring your cries to preserve your vital resources.

Generation after generation has lost connection with the land, building our highways, bridges, skyscrapers, factories and homes. All in the name of progress we rob wildlife of their natural habitat while dumping toxic chemicals in the air, water and soil.

I'm sorry to say we've failed you in the role of creating a stronger, more livable planet. We've fallen short to maintain the land and water quality for fish, plants, wildlife and ourselves. I must admit once we are committed we stay on course, and back away from our over-consumption and environment destruction.

I don't expect you to forgive, for we know what we do and the consequences to you. We have the knowledge and will to reshape our physical world anyway we please, yet we've been slow in changing our ways. Unable to break our bad habits we destroy the things we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell.

I guess if you are to be saved you will be saved because future generations will have a new balanced vision for all you have to offer. They may take ecological action toward your environment healing. Maybe they will stop the cycle of destruction.

Until then, please do your best to stay well.

Sincerely,

Angie - Witchskel
