And, now for something completely different: Some Good News!
Let’s not forget that Earth Day is also a time to celebration nature and those who work hard to preserve it.
Like the volunteers of Roxborough, Philadelphia, who every April block city streets to ensure the safe crossing of hundreds of toads hopping to their breeding ground. Or, the thousands of Macedonians who took a day off work for the third year in a row to plant three million trees in their fire-ravaged national forest.
Beyond Words Prayers Join the World’s to Heal Fukushima

Thank you to all who participated in the prayer here at Beyond Words.
It was a beautiful moment to help heal a very difficult situation.
Worldwide Water Healing from Dr. Emoto
To All People Around the World
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!
By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.
Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.
Is there really nothing else to do?
A Message from Dr. Emoto
For all kind people around the world
Firstly, we thank you deeply for sending your kind prayers and warm wishes with positive energy to Japan and its people. As you know, everyone in Japan is going through such a difficult time, and we are trying the best we can to overcome this catastrophe. Though the truth is that we are so shocked and so very sorry for the victims and their families and friends.
Masaru Emoto and his staff would like to help them in the best manner we can. We will send water of Love and Thanks – water that will improve immunity – to people who live in the areas of nuclear plants and where people are suffering after earthquakes and tsunami as well as other necessary things for them.

Meeting a 70-Year-Old Woman Finishing the Appalachian Trail
I love this exuberant and inspirational blog post from author of Most Good Least Harm, Zoe Weil. Zoe is the co-founder and President of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE). IHE works to create a world in which we all live humanely, sustainably, and peaceably.
Yesterday I hiked the last leg of the Appalachian Trail (AT) up Katahdin Mountain in Maine with my good friend and fellow humane educator, Freeman Wicklund. Freeman began the AT in Georgia in March and hiked more than 1,300 miles to Connecticut before a stress fracture in his foot laid him up for a month of healing. He hitchhiked up to Maine on Labor Day to resume the trail, this time heading south. (more…)
The Earth is Intelligent: Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar
Jeffrey Armstrong speaks about how his book Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar addresses environmental issues.
Jeffrey Armstrong enlightens readers on the meaning of the word Avatar and relevance of the original Avatars of India in today’s world. An Avatar—a Divine Being that descends from the transcendental realm to restore peace and harmony to the earth—is a manifestation of the Ultimate Being that can appear at will in human or animal form. According to Indian tradition, when Mother Nature has been harmed by the actions of humans, Avatars come to Earth to restore the karmic balance while showing humans the way back to the higher realms.

A Message from Dr. Masaru Emoto regarding the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
While the news headlines seem to be talking about BP’s share prices, arguing over Obama’s clean energy proposals, and needing to find blame, we might take a moment to remember the water. Dr Masaru Emoto (author of The Hidden Messages in Water) wrote this post and this prayer back in May, but it is worth remembering and revisiting.
I saw news in this morning about oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. In the news, the Japanese TV crew chartered a boat and got the scene where the huge amount of oil was spilled in the gulf of Mexico. They departed from the mouth of Mississippi River and they got the scene after 1 hour. Huge amount of oil is gushing out everyday and the reporter said it is just a matter of time that the oil is reaching the shore.
After the reporter arrived the scene by a boat, she scooped sea water with a cup and she checked what’s inside. Then there was a young fish carcass in the cup. It was only one small scoop but the fish carcass was there. I shuddered to think how many lives are lost by this oil spill in the entire ocean. (more…)
The Global Coherence Initiative and the Oil Spill
As news hits that Top Kill has failed to plug the oil spill, folks aren’t quite sure what to do next. Worries over the approaching hurricane season fuel more concerns over the impact the oil slick may have, and thoughts of waiting until August for any further attempts to fix the leak leaves many of us with jaws on the floor, speechless.
While I believe that the Earth is much older and wiser than any of us, that she can heal in her own sweet time and at her own pace, and that she will endure no matter what, I also began wondering what I could do.
I could give offerings and ask forgiveness for my human brothers and sisters who are making such grievous mistakes.
I could learn from my own mistakes, and make choices and take actions that would have me living in much better alignment with the Earth. I could change my ways, let go of systems that don’t work, and begin living in a more sustainable and honorable way. And then teach my children that, and speak about it to others so they may feel inspired to do the same. (more…)
