Dearest Friends, the voice of Mother Earth is calling to us. She is crying out. She is calling to Her beloved children. She is saying:
“Wake up. Do not think that you do not matter. Everything you do matters. How you treat each other matters. How you care for My sacred land and wilderness matters. How you care for the four-legged ones and the other species of My body matters. You must care for them as if they were your own precious children. They are part of Me, and therefore part of you.
Can you hear Me calling? I am asking you to go into your hearts more deeply so that you know that you belong to Me and are part of Me. Do not continue to put this off while My sacred waters are being sullied and My habitats are being violated and decimated so that the vast biodiversity of my Being can no longer be.
My lands were here before you were here. My waters were here before you came into existence. These are parts of My body, just as your arms and legs are part of your body. They are part of Me, and when a part is harmed or destroyed, it affects all other parts.
Now is the time, beloved children of My heart. There is no more time to wait. You are here to help heal My body and each other. Be that. Be a force for healing.
You may not think that you have the power to be such a force. You may feel that you are too small to make a difference to the entire planet. Yet, this is an incorrect perception. All that you do goes out into the great Web of Life that I Am. Nothing is wasted. Nothing goes unnoticed.
What you speak, what you give your heart and your help to, becomes a vibration that fills the air that you breathe. Indeed, all that you create out of love, kindness, devotion, generosity, compassion, tenderness, contributes to the vibration of the air that you breathe, for all is energy. All is transmitted. When you breathe out, the atmosphere around you changes.
Loving the plants and trees that are part of My sacred land helps Me. Making yourself a vessel to care for those whom you do not know, the suffering ones, the forgotten ones, the hungry and homeless ones. This helps most of all because it unifies all within a vibration of love and unity. Do not think that you cannot help because you are one of several billion. In the realm of Spirit, each life makes an imprint upon the world. Each life is irreplaceable. Every act of love and every gesture of the heart makes a difference to the entire planet.
Do not be disconsolate, beloved ones, for I Am eternal. I cannot die. But great suffering is occurring and can occur to both humans and non-humans alike as a result of each believing that they are separate from all others. You are not separate from each other. You are all united within My sacred body.
Believe this, beloved ones, and extend hope to each other during this difficult time. For I shall not perish, but there are those that are already perishing and those who are greatly suffering, and as each one of My body suffers, so, too, do I take this suffering in.
Be blessed, beloved ones, and love Me as I love you forever.”
