What would happen if everyone on the planet started treating their little corner of the Earth as their own personal Zen Garden? What if you woke up every day, offering the planet love, kindness, and compassion? Honoring the Earth means treating the earth as a place of refuge. It also involves respecting the Earth. If each of us just did one small thing, in our little corner of the world, to make our world a more peaceful and tranquil place, the planet would literally be a different place. Do your part in honoring the Earth by treating it as your own lovely Zen Garden.
I bless Planet Earth and honor Mother Earth as my very own personal Zen Garden. I vow to treat the Earth with love, kindness and with the utmost of compassion. I bless and acknowledge Mother Earth for all the lovely Zen treasures she offers us, from water, to trees, to stone, sand, plants, moss, and gravel. I thank Mother Earth for being a place where I can find peace, serenity, and joy. I seek to be the Zen Master of my beautiful Earth Garden. I honor Planet Earth as a place of refuge and reflection just like the beautiful Zen Garden. As the poet William Blake once said, "I strive to see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower.” I love and honor the Planet as much as I love and honor myself. Today and every day, I seek to unite with Mother Earth and become one with her endless treasures.
