Happy Earth Day 🌱 today is Earth Day and tomorrow, for those that don't know, is St Georges Day (also the day I start my 65th Year around our star, the sun ☀️)
Michael Singer reminds me daily “You are on one planet, around one star (the sun) in one galaxy… among billions.
And as a data person here’s the stats that remind me (I feel a spreadsheet moment!)
* About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun
* The Milky Way has roughly 100–400 billion stars
* And there are an estimated 100–200 billion galaxies in the observable universe
He would say something like:
* Most of our mental energy is spent on tiny, temporary concerns
* We act as if everything happening in our mind is immensely important
Why am i sharing this with you? This reminds me every minute of every day that maybe I don’t need to take every thought, emotion, or problem quite so seriously !!
Today perhaps sit, walk, go about our day in wonder and amazement at the vastness of the universe and the beauty of this planet Mother Earth - a question might be “how can I give back to Mother Earth, after all she gives me. What could I do more of or less of”
Chat GPT gave me this snippet: Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22nd and is all about environmental awareness, collective action, and reconnecting with the planet. It began in 1970, largely driven by Ga***rd Nelson, at a time when pollution and ecological damage were becoming harder to ignore.
