Mother Earth let me honor you through Africa, the land we all once came from. A continent that makes me both humble and proud, with all its resources so authentic and pure.  I feel you through the stone world, the volcanic soil, that once has been part of these impressive mountains. Spirit of the stone, spirit of Kilimanjaro, of Mount Meru, that protects us step by step, present everywhere. I feel you through the plant world, this diversity of trees and flowers, these treasures of untouched vegetation. Spirit of the plants, spirit of the jungle and the wide savannah, that gives us our daily food and healing power. I feel you through the animal world, the smallest and the biggest, that live in harmony and honor each other. Spirit of the animals, spirit of serpent and leopard, weaver bird and eagle, we can learn from you how important everyone is in its very place. I feel you through the world of the people, so many tribes, that are still connected with you in the depth of their hearts. Spirit of these authentic tribes, the Maasai, the Meru, who manage to survive by listening to their traditions, the plants and the animals. Mother Earth let me honor you through Africa, a land we can reconnect. A continent that gives inner strength and peace, thank you that you are here to teach me where I came from and who I am.
