EARTH is a stabilizing force, fetishized since time immemorial as a talisman of unconditional love and generosity, for she endures abuse yet continues to provide for all. Earth unifies us in our differences as inhabitants of her home, sows wild grandeurs in her myriad soils, and soothes with her boundless breast. She initiates the transformation and transportation of nutrients and embodies the archetypal energy of Late Summer harvest season, where abundance and satiety abound in tandem with decline and decrease. To understand her splendor is to romp in her amber waves of grain, for her body is sustenance for this entire swathe of terrestrial enterprise, grounding and centering with her gifts and gravity.
