For many years, as a horseback rider growing up, I’ve cultivated a relationship to Mother Earth, that I thought I’d share with you. To me, each straw of grass, each tree, and each animal all consist of life energy, a spirit that permeates all. It’s through this spirit we are one. Even the little pebbles and sand are remnants of a creative energy (the volcanoes). We’re all part of the eco-system.

In Hawaii, one can say that we share breath (Ha as in Aloha) which is the same thing. Everything alive comes from the same source, which in turn is the source of our food, and thus life. Next time you go for a walk, remember this. Tune into this feeling by remembering we all breathe the same air. In spirit!
