Certainly no one is watching after her, to the point where she's now calling herself M. Earth, using her first initial only, like the early women writers who did not want their work to be automatically dismissed because of their gender disadvantage. Though she is grand, M. Earth is feeling, perhaps, overly feminine, and therefore vulnerable. Don't even mention the word Gaia; it's such a projection! She thinks she could benefit from a more macho profile, a little kick-ass to make her point. Perhaps a little masculine detachment would be helpful, or a thicker skin. Because, frankly, she's been trampled, poisoned, stripped bare, robbed blind, and blamed for just about everything that's come down the pike. And like all mothers, everyone just assumes she'll always be there for them with open, loving arms, and a cup of hot cocoa. That it will be her pleasure to feed them, lick their wounds, and clean a load or two of their dirty laundry. She's looking for a little more respect.","author":"Sharon Weil","tags":["donny-and-ursula","donny-and-ursula-save-the-world","gender-disadvantage","m-earth","mother-earth","planet-earth","respect","sharon-weil","when-no-one-is-watching"],"id":260026,"author_id":"Sharon+Weil"},{"text":"Thank you Earth for I've never known a better friend.","author":"Kehinde Sonola","tags":["earth","friendship","hope","inspirational","love","planet-earth","time"],"id":264092,"author_id":"Kehinde+Sonola"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":20,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
