We humankind, are one of the species alive right here, right now, on this beautiful planet we call the Earth. It is spinning in space, warmed by a giant burning star we call the Sun and orbited by our satellite the moon. There are glorious forests of green trees, enormous deep oceans ebbing and flowing, magnificent winds blowing around our planet, rain falling and watering the myriad of growing things upon its surface.

There is beauty and life going on everywhere, it is what we are, what we are a part of, what modern society has woo'd us away from, with its articial quick fixes that feed the hunger that develops inside a man or woman who has wondered so far away from their true 'nature'. It is in this 'real' world, the natural world to which we belong, that strength and inner peace can be found. A connection to nature will connect us to our own nature, to our instincts, to our sense of belonging, to this whole of which we are all a part. Our home, our planet.

Every day is EARTH day.

“The earth is what we all have in common.” - Wendell Barry
