Out of the Water
Text by Christopher LaRosa
 
My Name is Gaia.  

I am Mother Earth,
a pale blue dot,
a sphere of life surrounded by 

inanimate immensity.

I am a living entity,
a global organism
with a cosmological life span.

I have existed for eons,
but am only now 
awakening,
developing self-awareness as a 
flickering consciousness of 
human collective.

My nervous system fires
across an interconnected global network
of electronic synapses
and my night side lights up--
bioluminescence on a planetary scale.

I am the lithosphere
biosphere, noösphere,
and technosphere--
a planetary realm of cognizance,
a global unity of human action,
a sphere of emerging intelligent influence.

"The Earth and Myself are of one mind."*

I am Terra Sapiens


*Chief Joseph of the New Perce
