“I pledge allegiance to the soil of the beautiful Grandmother Earth. And to all life for which it provides, one Humanity, sharing the Earth, with liberty and just livelihood for all.”
This is my pledge for the future sake of our country, our communities, and our families. This is my pledge to help us move beyond the damaging and painful separation we have created and enact over and over again.
What If we all pledged to care for the soil, which is the base ingredient for all food, health, and life? What If we all pledged to put the soil first, ahead of politics, opinions, biases, and money? What If we all pledged to the soil, and grow ourselves a new way of being, a new way of understanding, and a new way of loving each other and the future generations?
What if….?!
