I will say a prayer of gratitude to our dear beleaguered earth every time I pump gas from now on! Thank you for this reminder!
Thank you Roland for once again bringing simplicity to complex issues like Petrol.
I appreciate you and thank you.
Jason
Thanks Roland. Its always amazing to me that we take so much for granted. As I have told you before, I do feel an awe of the greater power than me when I look at the sky, the trees, the flowers, the blueberries, the little streams but I lack your ability to define it so that it is even more meaningful. I might come closer when I hear and see the news about the forest fires because I hate it when they burn. I think I feel their pain. I also feel their pain when I see a huge tree which has lived for many years be cut down so that someone in China can build a bloody house. When I see a planted tree in a tree lot being used for wood, I am OK with it because it was planted for this purpose and the act is not ruining a forest which man can never duplicate.
Take care.
Pat
So true, Pat. We can plant trees but we cannot re-produce a real forest.
Roland, thank you for this inspiring video. It is so natural to thank the tomato plant as I pick the bounty, and for the food and friendship that comes my way but I have never considered giving thanks to Mother Earth when I gas up my car. I so appreciate your sharings and take them to heart.
A refreshing perspective – one I’m going to practice. Thank you, Roland.
Thank you Roland for this perspective. I daily thank our Mother Earth for the food I eat but have not been thanking her for the fuel in my car. Thank you Grandmother Earth for the fuel and I give thanks for you.
Thank you for this video. Always when I watch and listen to you I am connected instantly and deeply in appreciation for the Mother. I will do better to keep this connection. Thank you Roland. CN
