When I was young, I had just two doctors, one for my teeth and one for the rest of me. As I grew older, I kept needing more doctors, specialists in systems and organs of my body that, for one reason or another, are not acting normally. Sometimes, I get sick, but with some doctoring, I return to normal or closer to normal.

On a recent visit to a doctor for the rest of me, I was sitting in the waiting room and started wondering who doctors the earth. Can Mother Earth go to a family doctor to check on her health? Without question, her health is of the utmost importance to us. She provides us with the basic requirements of life: air, food, water, and an environment suitable for life.

We often start a conversation with the question How are you? This is a conversation starter, regardless of the language used. This question reveals a basic nature of humans. We care about one another, especially friends and family, those we know best.

If you stop to think about it, Mother Earth is a member of our family, or perhaps better said, we are members of Mother Earth’s family. How can that be?
