Sending Some Love To Earth

I hear a lot about sending love to humans,
being kind and appreciative and compassionate
to teachers, loved ones, friends…even enemies.

 I hear less about sending love to the earth.


Yet of all beings (if the earth is a being, and isn’t she?),
doesn’t the earth deserve love, too? 
Doesn’t she deserve appreciation,
 and for once, instead of extracting from her,
 for us to give her our best, our love, our kindness,
 every good thing we’ve got?
 Seems like it’s the least we can do.
