HAPPY EARTH DAY 2020
How To Reclaim What’s Under The Many Viscous Layers of You
A freestyle poem to release you from guilt and return you to purity
With Earth Day coming up, one of us or many of us might be feeling that we aren’t worthy enough, or that we haven’t done much for Mother Earth. If that is you, today I absolve you of everything and revert you to your true nature — Your Purity.
Who am I to think I have such power? I’m a citizen of the world who cares, and this grants me that power. Today, I absolve You; You reclaim You!
Entombed under the charade Buried nether the ugly things you say ‘n do Layered below all that bravado There lays a purity that was born of stardust
… a worthy cause for a celebration …
And as on that momentous day when you took your first breath Surprising even you of your new reality ’n Bravely asserting your existence Among planetary nebulae
The purity remains undisturbed, Pristine like a new morn’
… but you’ve been globetrotting, a lie you’ve been living, abandoning who you are. Return to your source…
Be like water, child of stardust Change with the energy of The Milky Way Lend yourself to the expedition That’s heading straight to the new dawn Where life flows like a river on a peregrination Asking us to wake up to who we are
Let go of all your human foibles Let go and find yourself anew
The gunk you accumulated Is but a smudge in the horizon More like a blot on your Sunday shirt
… the crack… that’s how the light gets in. Amen …
Be like water, I tell you sincerely Be the change your soul already knows Flow with purity into that river Baptism of joy awaits your there Join the choir of the redeemed others And purge yourself of all the gunge
What lies under the many viscous layers? Why You —
Beautiful You, just as you are!
The first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and in hundreds of communities across the United States. More importantly, it brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform.
According to Denis Hayes, the first Earth Day 1970 organizer, this is the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year.
It’s coordinated by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, and now, Earth Day is observed in 192 countries.
Earth Day 2020 is the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Celebrations will include activities such as the Great Global CleanUp, Citizen Science, Advocacy, Education, and art.
Earth Day will educate and mobilize more than one billion people to grow and support the next generation of environmental activists. It’s time to reimagine what we can collectively do for our global environment with activities and events. — Wikipedia

Earth Day this year will undoubtedly weigh differently in our minds. Today, just in time for Earth Day, we release ourselves from the guilt of being careless with Mother Earth and vow to do all we can to protect her. We also release ourselves of all the harmful ways we’ve been reckless with our bodies and with our fellow humans. In this regard too, we vow to be more aware and reverent of our beautiful life and the life that sustains it.
This is my prayer for us. Tikkun Olam. This is how we help our world to heal.
