"We give thanks for all those who are moved, in their lives, to heal and
protect the earth, in small ways and in large. Blessings on the
composters, the gardeners, the breeders
of worms and mushrooms, the soil-builders, those who cleanse the waters
and purify the air, all those who clean up the messes others have made.
Blessings on those who defend trees and who plant trees, who guard the
forests and who renew the forests. Blessings on those who learn to heal
the grasslands and renew the streams, on those who prevent erosion, who
restore the salmon and the fisheries, who guard the healing herbs and
who know the lore of the wild plants. Blessings on those who heal the
cities and bring them alive again with excitement and creativity and
love. Gratitude and blessings to all who stand against greed, who risk
themselves, to those who have bled and been wounded, and to those who
have given their lives in service of the earth.
May all the healers
of the earth find their own healing. May they be fueled by passionate
love for the earth. May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear.
May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage. May they honor
their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow. May they transform fear,
rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of
what they love. May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the
luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do
the work. May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the
right way. May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear
to hear the earth's voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and
greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth."
