If You Need a God, Call it Mother Earth

Our planet is incredible. It is beautiful. It nurtures a vast web of life. Life that, much as a seedling sprouting, has managed a small footing of livable ecosystem outside of her bosom. Damn.

There's a trope, "why don't you just marry it". My tone above invokes the spirit of that.

Except, we are all married to the Earth. And we are all faithful but for a handful who have had a chance to take space itself as a mistress.

Given this lifelong bond we have with terra-firma, I think god-like status is fine for Earth, as an object to worship and behold.

Go for it.

It's sad how little we actually experience the surface of the Earth. We seem to prefer concrete, carpet, and repurposed nature, wood.

Get outside!
