New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Instead of cleaning your plate this Thanksgiving, set aside a portion of your feast. Take the food to a natural area or garden, and bury it or set it out as an offering to the wild animals. As you do this think about how many creatures do not receive the bounty of Mother Earth each day. Speak this as you contemplate: "Blessed Mother Earth. I offer you back the fruit of your womb, the bounty which sustains and strengthens us all. Be healed and whole so that you may continue to feed your children. So mote it be." Consider donating money or time to a charity that feeds the hungry year round, not just on holidays. |
