As we celebrate Mother Earth, let us begin with gratitude, for we are showered daily with the gifts of Mother Earth, food to eat, sweet air to breathe, and the preciousness of water. Gratitude for each other as people, for the privilege of our work, and for the original peoples in whose homelands we meet today. Although we come from many different places, we stand upon the ultimate common ground, with our feet upon Mother Earth. No matter what language we speak, we are grateful for the birdsong that greets the day. Can we agree that our lives are made possible and made sweeter by the other lives that surround us, both the human and the more-than-human beings with whom we share the Earth?
