Our Beautiful but Fragile Planet


A Reflection on our Fragile Home

Specially chosen to Introduce our Theme for the next 6 Satsang Meetings



We live on a beautiful but fragile Planet,
which we call home.
It  has been our home for thousands of thousands of years
It is an ancient planet that has existed for Billions of years
And it is set in the vast ocean of our wonderful and seemingly endless Cosmos.

This Earth is Blessed .
It can sustain and nourish us all
But will do so, only if we respect it
As part of the vastness and wonder of Creation

May we become more aware of Earth’s beauty and fragility
May we become more open and aware
Of our responsibility to respect and protect  all of Creation.

May all our senses and heart be open to
The live-giving freshness of ocean and river.
The fragrance and fruits  of the forest  and tree,
The magnificence of mountain and vast plains
And the joy and beauty  of field and flower,

May we learn and  yearn for a world where all may flourish.
May we begin to learn  how to walk  gently on the earth
And to seek to hold all in trust for future generations.
