earth day prayer

 

Love all God's creation,

the whole and every grain of sand in it.

Love every leaf, every ray of God's light.

Love the animals, love the plants, love everything.

If you love everything,

you will perceive the divine mystery in things.

Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend

it better everyday.

And you will come at last to love the whole world

with an all-embracing love." 

Fyodor Dostoevsky
