I want to share some photos from yesterday's community lake clean up even here in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. An organization, Fincas Buenas, built a boat out of trash! We had two groups of people picking up trash from the shoreline, and more groups up in the hills. At one point, I was waist deep in water and trash, scooping up bits of styrofoam, plastic, clothing, etc. I got so dizzy I needed to sit down, but couldn't. I could feel the earth and all of the energy that was in that spot. I took a moment to be with the earth, send gratitude and love and let her know that we see her.

On one hand, we're just moving trash from one part of the earth to another. Hopefully, our collective intention and love will be felt through the town and by our Earth. :)
