From Dust to Dust…
Conscious planet’s SOS (Save Our Soil)

Sunlight picks out Dust Dust to Dust Holy Books Say Save Our Soil, we must.
I’ve never believed in art for art’s sake. No, art must serve Life, Truth and Righteousness. We have only 60 or so harvests left in the soil, worldwide. Sadhguru of Tamil Nadu, India is seeking to raise awareness to protect our soil. Why? Because Soil = Life. https://consciousplanet.org
Indeed Indigenous peoples of many invaded lands had the view, no decision should be made until ‘consideration was given to the children yet in the soil, seven generations from the present’. What wisdom of cultures that honoured Life for thousands of years and defined human beings as custodians, not owners of land!
