A Word From Mother Earth

The Definition of Logic

The Study of the principles of reasoning
especially of the structure of propositions as distinguished
from their content and of method and validity in deductive reasoning


The Definition of Mom's Logic

I think no further explanation is needed

That being said
Let's take a moment in time
To have a conversation with
The Mother of All

Gaia - Mother Earth


I am the Earth beneath your feet
Steadying you when you begin to falter


But the strength needed to steady you is no longer as it was, says Gaia

Why?



Because of your need to have the perfect lawn...... the perfect fruit/vegetable, has allowed Toxic Waste to seep into the very soul of Earth

What can we do?

Realize that all does not have to be perfect....

there is a reason for a dandelion, even if it's sole purpose is to entertain a child


You are not your lawn

an apple, not quite round and shiny, tastes more like it should

Looks can be deceiving



I am the gentle wind whispering sweet reminders of who you are
when you yourself are not sure


But I am finding it hard to do this anymore

Why?

Because the air is no longer clean and it hurts to breathe

What can we do

You can choose to remove the toxic chemicals from your home
To know what it is like to smell a meal cooking from the front door
instead of the synthetic fragrance coming from the many plug in air fresheners

You can go back to basics


Learn that you can have a clean healthy home without the toxic/synthetic products

Your home should be a Haven
not a toxic chemical melting pot




I am all that you are
And everything you will ever be
I am the Mother of Earth

Goddess of Your Soul

Why?

Because without me you no longer exist

What can we do to stop this?


Remember to


Tread lightly
Live gentle
It's not about you
It's about them


Your children
The children of tomorrow
Who don't have a voice yet
Who look to you
To speak for them


Since they can't, you won't.....I will

Recycle

Think before you throw something in to the garbage bag
Does it really go there

Reuse

Think cloth napkins instead of paper ones
Cloths instead of paper towels
Cloth bags instead of plastic ones

Reduce

Leave the extra packaging behind
Stop junk mail from being delivered to your home
Have your bills electronically sent to you

Remove

The toxic products from your home
Believe me when I say
The scent of Fresh Air does not come from a bottle

Remember

April 22nd is Earth Day

hug a tree

Pledge to change at least one thing in your life

It it the logical thing to do
Don't you think

Greetings,

My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive environmental and political blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.

I’m contacting you to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the environmental concern of Asbestos Litigation Blog at www.maacenter.org/blog —where I am looking at critical issues in new light. Our shared concerns include asbestos contamination of the environment, but they also include corporate accountability, consumer product safety, environmentally safe workplaces, and green public policies.

So drop by for a visit at www.maacenter.org. Give us a link on your site to help spread this important information. Blogroll us, and we’ll blogroll you back. I’m also available for guest blogging on your site. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks,

Barbara O’Brien
