It’s really important for women to take care of the Mother Earth that we live on today. Your mother might die, but you still live on this earth. Your mother’s the one that does everything for you. The Mother Earth does the same.

Wonderful wisdom from Lena Sooktis. The earth is very much our mother is so many countless ways. I think of this often in the leadup to Mother’s Day! Thanks so much for sharing.
