This week you got in tune with the natural world, sharing your six word messages to Mother Nature! You asked probing questions, praised the dear Earth Mother, and even discussed your doubts on the state of our planet. SixContest #22 saw hundreds of entries, but sadly, only one can win. Here are our top favorite six words for Mother Nature:

6. “A Mother’s work is never done.” –ponomogal

5. “My footprints have been getting lighter.” –Solstice22

4. “Nature is a beauty without makeup.” –Gizmo

3. “We failed. Give cockroaches their chance.” –catsmeow

2. “Nurturing and cruel, just like mom.” –@stevenberkowitz (via Twitter)
