Is it Earth Time Yet?

In the busy world of today, we all wish we had more time for the Earth. Sometimes we stare out of our office bubbles, car windows and arses. What are we thinking?

"I wish I had more time for the Earth."

Earth time is not to be confused with "birth time," an astrological designation of corporeal measurement or "green day" a new school emo band or "earth day" a thing that happens once a year.

When we celebrate earth day, we place all of our eggs into one little basket. We are lured into the complacent notion that, "hey, I don't need to think about the earth right now, because it is not yet earth day." And then what happpens? Earth day comes around and lo and behold, you don't have a whole day to spare for the Earth, your mother.

What many people don't understand is that the earth is a needy, cosmic entity that requires constant attention and petting.

Instead of one day, once a year, what the Earth needs is a little bit of LOVING, all the time.

When the earth gets hungry for loving, it gets ornery and one thing that none of us want is an ornery earth. When the strip miners and oil drillers do bad things to the earth, it's really negative but the earth is sitting there thinking:

"Yeah, but at least those fuckers pay attention to me!"

So instead of trying to spare a whole day that you do not have, why not spare a minute of your time, time spent on the earth...earth time.

Here's what to do:

Every day while at work, reach down and pat the floor once in awhile and say, "good little earth, good little earth. You're such a nice, happy little earth and I. Love. You!"

You may not hear anything right away, but just know that the earth listens to that, and really likes it a lot.
