Listening to the Earth

Listening to the Earth

As Frithweavers, we are committed to honouring the deep interconnectedness of all life. Frith is not only peace—it is right relationship, with one another and with the living Earth. The words below invite reflection, grief, and radicale action. May they serve as a call to remember who we are, and who we might still become.

The Earth will survive! With or without us. That is the truth we need to face.

The question is not whether the planet endures, but whether humanity can learn to live in a respectful relationship with her. Already, countless animals have disappeared because of our actions. Entire species lost. Many more on the brink. It is a grief we carry, whether we allow ourselves to feel it or not. The damage is undeniable. And change is no longer optional. It is urgent. We cannot keep stripping the Earth bare—for oil, gas, and mineral and crystals and healing stones. We must stop poisoning the soil to grow food. Stop exhausting the land until nothing can live there. Stop cutting trees without care. Stop keeping animals captive and torturing them their entire lives for the sake of cheap meat, profit, or convenience.

It is time to rethink
To refuse
To reuse
To repair
To recycle
To reduce

And more than anything: to listen. Let us ask Mother Earth what she needs, and be quiet long enough to hear her answer. Let us make the knowledge we need to live within her boundaries truly accessible to all. Let us be humble and finnaly learn to listen to those who has been silenced. Let us hear the voices of First Nations peoples, of those who live close to the land, of those who remember what we have forgotten. Another world is possible. A thriving Earth is possible. Let’s have the courage to create both.
