Such perfection here, such profound beauty and most tender heart. And oh this song that you share, it is one that I treasure and that reminds me of who I am, of who each of us is, purest beloved nature. Thank you for this timely remembrance. I love you, your words are a sweet salve for my yearning heart 💖🌻🌿✨🌳

From nature we come, visit a while and will return. My heart hears yours in wind song, bird song, and Mother Earth’s nurturing hugs. May we hold her as gently and tenderly as she does us. SO beautiful, Sarah as are you. This is an elixir, a balm. May we infuse her into our BEings. This becomes our meditation. Big love to ALL who land here. Xo💐🪶🌳

Awe, like breath in my lungs are your words about Mother Earth. I’m so grateful there are other beings, who I am connected with someway, who also cherish nature as deeply as I do. Thank you for honoring her as you do. I’m looking forward to returning to days in deeper places of quiet and the wilderness of the northwest.

Ahhhh yes, "to bow to the majesty of the other than human world". I think this practice may be the antidote for our weariness. Thank you, Peter.

I had the gift of spending this Earth Day on a friends 120 acre ranch! The birdsong never stopped, the blossoms scent filled my nostrils and my heart expanded! You are exhilarating Mother Earth! You are an amazing expression of her, beautiful Sarah 💜 Deep bow of gratitude 🙏🏼

My friend sent me that song, I too was covered in goosebumps and started to cry. I'm so happy you are here, Miglena. Thank you.

This reads like a love letter etched in bark and breath.

The part about not being able to let go of the cedars during the death meditation—I've felt that too. That moment when you realize nature isn’t your backdrop. She’s your blood memory. Your first language.

Thank you for reminding us that devotion doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes it’s just the act of listening to leaves, walking with no destination, or circling yourself with houseplants because you need to feel held.

This piece didn’t just honor Earth Day. It felt like Earth speaking back.
