🌍 Earth 🌎 Day 🌏
In pondering existential matters and metaphysical issues, we should sometimes attempt to enlarge our purviews and extend our awareness, resolution and compassion to (include) other lifeforms and the environment, so that we can be cogent, holistic and consilient on the universal, global and even planetary perspectives. After all, we are connected in various ways not just to humans but also to other beings and aspects of the Earth and Mother Nature.

Simple gifts of nature that all join into a paradise
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world

It is a delicate flower and it must be cared for.
It’s lonely.
It’s small.
It’s isolated, and there is no resupply.
And we are mistreating it.
― Scott Carpenter, astronaut
― Biblical proverb
― Henry Beston, 1935, Herbs and the Earth

― Friedrich Nietzsche
― Friedrich Nietzsche
― Wallace Stevens, Letters, p. 73
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me resignation
as the leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me courage
as the tree which stands all alone.
Earth teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring.
― William Alexander, A Father’s Book, 1997
― Henry David Thoreau
His hearth the earth, his hall the azure dome.

Earth of the slumbering and liquid trees!
Earth of departed sunset!
Earth of the mountains misty-top!
Earth of the vitreous pour of the full moon just tinged with blue!
Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river!
Earth of the limpid gray of clouds brighter and clearer for my sake!
Far-swooping elbowed earth!
Rich apple-blossomed earth!
Smile, for your lover comes!

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there ― on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

Hello TechFlax! Your question could be interpreted in several ways. For example, SoundEagle could reply to your question with such an answer as “Yes, I made it through without much hassel.” Hence, to pinpoint what your question actually means without ambiguity, the easiest and logical approach is for SoundEagle to request that you kindly clarify what the pronoun “it” stands for. Thank you. 🙂

Thank you, Sue, for your visit and compliment. 🙂 Now that you are here, may you thoroughly enjoy whatever and however the post may appeal to your sentiment, spirit and intellect!
This Earth Day post is quite significant, and as you can see already, it takes slightly longer to load because of its diverse and rich contents. It probably has been extended with additional contents since your earlier visit in August.
Whilst this post is formidable in length and scope, you are free to jump to any section of the post instantly using the navigational ☼ೋღ🌅 MENU 🌄ღೋ☼ located at the top of the post.
How thrilling and delightful to know that we both are such passionate and protective earthlings, not to mention that SoundEagle🦅 feels doubly blessed by your double visit here!
In addition, SoundEagle🦅 would like to wish you and your family a wonderful festive season with a special post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄!
Happy New Year to all of you!
May you realize all of your visions and achieve whatever goals you have set yourself in 2019!

It is true that we’re all connected, but I believe through God. Most of the problems that we face are caused by humans. Some of them continue to damage our world. It can’t last forever. So, it’s important to do our share for the good. Take care.

Moving quotes re: the earth and our relation to it. Though we have now celebrated Earth Day for half a century, we have not yet taken the obligation to care for the earth to heart. Nor have we learned to care for one another. “The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant” (Isa. 24: 5).

Another Earth Day has passed. We give more lip service to environmentalism, but few take the subject seriously enough to change their behavior in a major way.
