Earth Day - 2024
Earth is a wondrous planet. For eons, she has been home for all earthling life, flora and fauna. She has nurtured the rise of biological life, the diversity of species and the rise of sentient intelligence within many earthling species. With a diameter of less than 8,000 miles, she has accomplished all these wonders as a tiny speck of earth, air, fire and water… in transit around Sol, our home world’s shining star… careening through the vastness of space. Mother Earth, or Gaia as we call her, is also a very mysterious planet. Almost beyond human comprehension, she possesses a planetary sentience whose consciousness operates on a geologic timescale that is all but unfathomable to humanity. In antiquity, she was known as Sophia… the ancient Greek word for wisdom. Sophia was said to be the feminine aspect of God, and the holy spirit of a pre-biblical movement known as Gnosticism. Sophia was known to be the creatrix of the world and dwells within our home planet as the Great Earth Mother.
