.Stewardship is the
natural consequence of receiving
and sharing the gifts of the Earth. We cannot own a gift.
A gift is freely given and received in the heart.
The statement "I am a
caretaker of the Earth"
is respectful,
humble and is an inherent statement of peace.
Our present
economy and money world
is fundamentally ownership based.
Anything we purchase legally becomes ours.
Can
we say in truth that we are the owners of all these things?
Can we own
this planet?
Is it not more true to
say that we are here to take care
of these things, share them with each other
and receive them in gratitude?
