Thank you for joining the conversation. I naturally tend to think of communicating with the earth energetically. Hearing you speak of it as a chemistry language is a lovely perspective! Lexi Phill,

Her language is the first language we knew, before we learnt to think in pictures and words. Its the language of smell of chemistry. The same language all the cells in our body use. remember this language and you will hear her. I am head over heals over this lady, my mother my sister my child. This is the relationship we need to have with this earth. She is alive and conscious and loves all life deeply. Thank you I am grateful for your clarity. Phill Thank you,

If you have not already seen it, you might want to watch <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4499930634181592531" title="video about genetically modified foods" rel="nofollow">this video about genetically modified food crops</a>. It is certainly eye-opening! Lexi KL,

(see it here - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/18/world/americas/18food.html?ref=todayspaper ) Watching people crawling over garbage heaps like ants in search of food I had a sudden flash of a different time, when that same land would have been forest, and people would have collected nuts, berries, fruits, plants and animals for food. As Chief Seattle once said (paraphased), "Only when all the animals, all the trees, all the plants and all the water are gone will man discover that he can't eat money." Humanity's fruitless search for security through the acquisition of wealth has completely missed the point when it comes to life, and it will drive us to our deaths. Or not. As you can see, this issue compels me too. It is time for a shift in humanity, we know that (some of us do anyway). How do those of us with spiritual understandings of life take our way of being into the world of those dominated by material ways of being and work with them to affect change? The earth lives, as surely as we do, and her presence is felt in every insect, every animal, every fish, every bird, every plant - even the rocks and the mountains. In connecting again to that which is in all of us, we find that sense of security. We come Home. I’ve been reading about the food crisis, and one particular photo really moved me.

It's not that we need to change the world, but we need to change our perspective of the world. Our internal selves need to change, and change fast if we are to survive. I love the idea of stewardship - it acknowledges the fact that we are only on this planet for a heartbeat, and that we are a part of the planet, a part of life. It is not for us to dominate. It is for us to appreciate. More like this please! Great article, and SO vital to what’s going on right now.
