Connection

 

All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.”  — Chief Seattle

 
The American Indians and Eastern Cultures place a lot of emphasis on our connection to all living things.
The remind us that if we harm any living thing we bring harm to ourselves, and when we destroy our environment we harm ourselves and many generations to come — we are merely leaseholders not owners.
How many times have learned and noticed that how we treat a fellow human or pet is usually reciprocated. Why should we believe that all other living things and Mother nature herself would act otherwise?
Consider a garden that is loved and tended by someone who nurtures each and every plant, we see that love reciprocated by a bountiful harvest of beauty and bounty.
It is time we learn from other cultures and start acting like we love and respect all of God’s creations, then will we receive nature’s love in return.
