mother earth prayer

Cynthia Gale and Rainer Hildenbrand include this prayer in each of the prayer bowls they craft. The husband-and-wife artist team made a prayer bowl for their wedding and store keepsakes from well-wishers in it. Gale wrote the prayer:

Pray for Mother Earth, That all her creatures Might find their breath, And in finding their breath,

Hear Mother Earth’s And in hearing her breath, Honor her And in honoring her, Honor themselves.
