for the earth...
i am lighting this candle for the earth herself. for her waters which are being unnecessarily polluted, for her dirt which is carelessly being eroded, for her air which is being fouled...we humans take her for granted and think that all the resources we use will always be there. they will not. all of these things-water,earth,air-are finite. if we do not start taking better care of what we have got now, we shall go the way of so many civilizations of the past and disappear b/c of our own diregard of the planet upon which we depend. this is not a political statement, just a simple geographical observation.
THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS. earth needs happiness, health, peace, and kindness, to rest in ease, just as much as any other suffering being!
namaste,
