Giving Thanks

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Uncategorized | 2

This Thanksgiving, let us give thanks to Gaia for making this feast, and our lives possible. And to everyone who has brought joy–both to this day and to our lives. But let’s not do that passively. Our gratitude should be active, sharing these sentiments–and our good fortune–with others.

The Gaian Creed

“We believe that the Earth, Gaia, is a living being. That Gaia is at the same time composed of the vast diversity of life and is alive in Her own right. We understand that we depend completely and utterly on Gaia and are part of Gaia. We recognize that current human actions are fundamentally altering Gaia and that if pushed too far, Gaia will shift from Her current state to one inhospitable to humans and millions of other species. Therefore, we commit to living radically sustainable lives—even to an extent that it may alienate us from our kin, our communities, our cultures. We commit to sharing our philosophy and bringing others to understand and embrace their relationship with Gaia and help heal Gaia—and in the process, themselves, their families, and their communities.”
