This is a task all human beings must be prepared to engage in, whatever our gender, but WOMEN, who have suffered the same wounding as the planet, are uniquely positioned to empathize with our Mother Earth, and to speak on behalf of all her creatures.
We must speak for the Earth as mothers, daughters, teachers, businesswomen, scientists, service workers, lawyers, laborers, or in whatever role we play in the world.
We must let her voice be heard through whatever medium we most comfortably express ourselves in: words, music, art, crafts, and in the settings we find ourselves in each day, whether that be the home, office, school, court, university, factory or fields.
It is a matter of recognizing, because we are an intrinsic part of the Earth, her need for healing is not distinct from our own.
