Earth Prayer

Rate this Entry
I recently watched the movie Men Who Stare At Goats, quite funny, and there was this earth prayer that was recited within the movie which struck me, and I have always wanted to play around with visual poetry, so I used the words from the prayer with one of my photos




If you find the words hard to read, here is what they say:

Mother Earth… my life support system… as a soldier… I must drink your blue water… live inside your red clay and eat your green skin. I pray… my boots will always kiss your face and my footsteps match your heartbeat. Carry my body through space and time… you are my connection to the Universe… and all that comes after. I am yours and you are mine. I salute you.

    I didn't know what to make of this at first because I couldn't make out the words; then I saw them at the botom. I love this. Thank you for sharing it. It's powerful. I love especially the part where it says "I am yours and you are mine. I salute you." This is beautiful. Not sure of the word for it - irony or something - that the idea that the Earth is ours is used in a positive, spiritual sense, rather than the sense than that it's ours to abuse.
