.    Happy Mother’s Day!  And let’s all especially wish a happy Mother’s Day to Mother Earth too.  She is all we have, and we all need to take better care of her (by recycling, using green energy, and planting more trees and such), not neglecting her.  We can’t (as many foolish scientists suggest) leave home to go to another planet when things get bad here; some scientists are suggesting the wrong things; we have to wake up and treat her much better!  Mother Earth is not at all separate from all true, good mothers!

        Song of the Earth

All is beautiful,
      All is beautiful…All is beautiful, indeed.

Now the Mother Earth, and the Father Sky…  Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.

All is beautiful… All is beautiful…  All is beautiful, indeed.

Sisnajinni, Tsodsichl,
    Meeting, joining one another,

Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

Now Doko-oslid and Depenitsa…  Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

And the night of darkness… And the dawn of light… Meeting, joining one another… Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful…All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

Now Hastyeyalli and Hastyehogan… Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

And the white corn and the yellow corn… Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

And the corn-pollen and the Ripener… Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.  
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed.

Life-that-never-passeth,
Happiness-of-all-things… Meeting, joining one another,
    Helpmates ever, they.
      All is beautiful… All is beautiful… All is beautiful, indeed. 

Now all is beautiful,
      All is beautiful,
      All is beautiful, indeed.
