Love At First Sight: Vows to Earth

How did you feel when you first saw this NASA photograph? For me and many others it was love at first sight. In 1969 I traveled around the Earth for the first time just three years after this photo was taken, and I fell hopelessly in love with her. Below are some Mystical Vows to the Earth, followed by a profound video "The Pale Blue Dot."

Earthling Vows

Earth, our only home

Precious beyond priceless

Gift of the universe

Our mother who gives us life
 

Earth, our only home

We cherish you and vow

To keep you safe from harm

We swoon at the stunning beauty

Of your land
 

Earth, our only home

We give you thanks for air and water

We delight in your plants and animals

We celebrate each of your humans
 

Earth, our only home

We vow to let go of violence and greed

And create a new civilization of

Compassion and understanding
 

Earth, our only home
