A humble letter from a creature you have moulded beautifully:
This is a piece of writing which tends to burst out from the most considering nook of my heart and I want to dedicate it to you, Gaia.
I am blessed to have you all around me, from your scent of soil, to the large engulfing grasslands.
For the chills and snow of winter, for these warm summer days, for the wet hours of monsoon, for the yellow dry leaves of autumn, for the blooming blossoms of spring.
I’m just a fun-sized creature which at times, isn’t grateful to you for your incredible gifts,
yet I want to seek forgiveness for all the wrong deeds of my past – thousands of years and this one too.
Do forgive me for tarnishing you in any manner, for tarnishing any of your beloved creatures.
Though I made some big and small blunders, I sincerely want to promise you dear Earth,
Even if thousands go against you, tend to hamper you, I would always be there to protect you, with all the might I have been blessed with, by you.
Here I am, and in the end I yearn to say,
That I am,
blissful, healthy, capable, fortunate, observant, caring
all just because of your presence in my life.
Thank you my beloved mother Earth.
I won’t ever be able to repay you for your care and every thing you keep doing for my well being.
Thank you Gaia!
