Listen to the voice of Mother Earth,
weeping over her children's disrespect,
Crying for the destruction of her forest,
for the melting of her glaciers,
and the fracking of her bones.
Can you feel the pain of Mother Earth,
as humanity destroys
continent by continent
her beauty
and humanity's chance to survive.

Spiritual Sunday: Am I doing enought for Mother Earth?
Jamál (Beauty), 5 Jalál (Glory), 171 BE - Sunday, April 13, 2014 about 2:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time
Am I doing enough for Mother Earth? When I lived in the house I attempted to recycle by putting cans, glass, newspapers, and plastics in the recycle bins and carrying them to the curb every-other Saturday. Now that I live in an apartment, I recycle only the aluminum which I either sell myself or give to one of the people who checks for aluminum cans in the dumpsters.
The approach of Earth Day (Tuesday, April 22) caused me to ask two questions: (1) Am I doing enough for Mother Earth? and (2) Does the way humanity treats Mother Earth have an effect on our spirituality? The first question I can answer easily with a "No!" because there are probably other things I can do to help the planet. The second question I don't have an easy or a clear answer for and I'm not sure anyone does. It is a question that takes more research then I have done at present.

I am going paperless
‘Idál (Justice), 12 Jalál (Glory), 168 BE – Wednesday, April 20, 2011 about 11:23 AM Pacific Time
It is Wednesday and time for midweek reflections. I am considering going paperless. This week, I realized there is too much mail coming to my house. Most of the mail is junk or flyers, which I cannot control. I can control the amount of bills that come through the mail slot.
Since I pay most of the bills online, a hard copy of the bill is not necessary. I can go paperless and a bill will come to my e-mail box instead of through the front door. I can find the bill easier that way. Since Earth Day is coming up, I will give Mother Earth a birthday present and go paperless.
If I need a hard copy of a power bill or water bill, then I can print a copy. My printer works, after a fashion. It jams if I attempt to print more then one page at a time, but I can deal with that issue. Therefore, in the next seven days I will log into the websites and indicate that I want to go paperless, so that the bills come to the e-mail box instead of the house.
