Happy Earth Day!<\/p>\n

Over the last year as I have traveled to a game reserve in South Africa<\/a>, to the edge of the Arctic Circle in Canada<\/a>, and to the Marine Sanctuaries<\/a> of Hawaii, I have renewed my commitment to speak up for the creatures whose habitats are being wiped out by the activities of humans.<\/p>\n

As I have flown around the world and seen the coastlines<\/a>, forests<\/a> and mountains pass by in miniature detail as I look out of the airplane window, it becomes obvious that the planet is no longer a vast horizon….but a precious and fragile pearl that we hold in our hands.<\/p>\n

Last fall I joined 400,000 people in New York to march for climate change<\/a>, and it was the experience of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Earth Day is just one day out of the year, but it is a day that we can speak out, join with others of like mind, and plants seeds that can grow into compassion for our fellow voyagers on this spaceship Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take time to savor the quiet moments in wild places<\/a>, and see how it opens up wide open spaces within you, as a creative person.<\/p>\n

Our National Parks, our Wildlife Reserves, our vast forests<\/a> and wilderness preserves are precious not only for the eco-systems that thrive there, but also priceless treasures for our mental, emotional and spiritual health.<\/p>\n

Take a moment today to connect with Gaia, Mother Earth, Nature…and see what secrets she may whisper into your ear.<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
