Ashley - your Creation Story reminded me of Cliff Montagne's lecture on Holistic Though and Mangament.  It is amazing how almost every culture uses a circle for thier representation of earth, life cycles, rituals, etc.  The spirals of life.  Cliff showed us these two diagrams hoping we would see the relationship between everyone and everthing, every action and every reaction on our Great Mother Earth. 

Basically if you overlap these two circles you can see the relationship
between our Mother Earth and our need to live sustainably on Her.

It is said that most everyone has a "common good" towards out earth,
but sometimes we lose sight of it.  Your words Ashely from the Creation
Story hit home with this and we should all remember them.

"Now the earth felt nearly complete, but there was no connection between the trees, plants, animals, people, sun, stars, water, wind, and the earth. Then love was created, allowing everything to become one, and to finally feel connected."    Guatemalan Women
