In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, Earth is encoded with deep and profound teachings. Find the silence within and learn to listen to her songs. Celebrate her creativity and she will reveal to you the secrets of the universe. In honor of our incredible planet, I share with you these words of wise humans throughout history, who learned to listen to their Mother.
