Eden

Don´t these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Lyrics from Right in Two – Tool. Look it up, the whole song is perfect, the lyrics another explanation for our times.

Eden she is a phenomenal thing. Comes by many names: earth, mother earth, pachamama, madre tierra, the blue planet, gala, terra. How can you not see it, this garden of perfection, when it is everywhere?

Oh boy, the comments, the Eden must be here and there from people, so many people who have never taken the time to sit in their local state forest or national park. The gardens some people have, rolling green farmlands for miles, desert plains that come to life when one does not think life can exist. God, she is beautiful, this mother of ours, the Eden of all Edens.

Being greeted by blue morpho butterflies as big as my rather large hand in the Amazon rainforest, waking up to the roar of elephants from the Congo. These places, this world, she is every everything Eden was desrcribed as being and so much more. One does not need to travel outside of their own state to see it, witness it, know beyond doubt this is as good as it gets, and then some. It is pure perfection.

We live here on this ridiculously beautiful land and we give her no attention. In fact we destroy her trying to leave for something that cannot, and will not, provide anything near the perfection of pure beauty this thing does.

Love her as she loves you and she will recover. Start by spending some time in the natural world, watch it, take a blanket and have a nap together, be still, find some peace.


Blankets

Hanging out on blankets in beautiful places, is there anything better?
