touching the earth (bell hooks)

this is an excerpt from one of my favorite books, that features an article called 'touching the earth" quite aligned with my spiritual relation with nature. here is goes.

"when we love the earth, we are able to love ourselves more fully. i believe this. the ancestors taught me it was so. as a child i loved playing in dirt, in that rich kentucky soil, that was a source of life. before i understood anything about the pain and exploitation of the southern system sharecropping, i understood that grown-up black folks loved that land. i could stand with my grandfather daddy jerry and look out at a field of growing vegetables, tomatoes, corn, collards, and know that this was his handiwork. i could see the look of pride on his face as i expressed wonder and awe at the magic of growing things."

    TRUE LIFE TESTIMONY , THANKS TO JETWEBSHACKERS

    I’m forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam.

Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams.

    A guy on Twitter contacted me, and we discussed crypto for a few days. He claimed to work as a trade executor at eToro and convinced me to invest $20,000 in day trading using an auto-buy/sell algorithm for ERC20 tokens. After I paid him in USDT, he deleted his Twitter account. I thought I’d lost everything, but I found ProAssetRecoveryExpert through a blog post. They recovered all my funds after filing a complaint and providing my wallet address. If you’ve been scammed, you can reach them at proassetrecoveryexpert@gmail.com. They can help.

    When my cryptocurrency wallet was suddenly emptied, leaving me with a loss of $417,000, I was engulfed in shock and disbelief. It felt as if the ground had been ripped out from under me. The severity of the situation was overwhelming, but the emotional impact was even more profound when I discovered the identity of the perpetrator. It turned out to be my ex-girlfriend, who had been unfaithful and deceitful. The betrayal stung with an intensity I hadn’t anticipated. To have someone I once trusted so deeply and intimately turn against me in such a devastating way left me feeling utterly crushed.My immediate reaction was a whirlwind of anger, sadness, and confusion. I struggled to come to terms with the dual blow of losing a significant amount of money and dealing with the emotional fallout of being betrayed by someone I had loved and trusted. It seemed like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. My focus shifted to finding a way to recover the lost funds. Desperation drove me to explore every possible avenue for recourse. In my search for solutions, I came across various recovery services and read countless forums for advice. Among these, I stumbled upon a recommendation for Hacker Judas on Reddit. The post was a detailed account of how they had helped someone recover their stolen cryptocurrency. The story was compelling and seemed promising, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos I was experiencing. Hacker Judas had numerous positive testimonials and a track record that reassured me they were reputable. I decided to reach out to them, explaining my situation in detail and providing all necessary information related to the theft. The process of working with them was thorough; they conducted an initial assessment, and their team seemed genuinely invested in helping me recover the stolen assets. The recovery process was meticulous and took several weeks, but Hacker Judas kept me updated throughout. Their expertise and persistence were evident, and gradually, the hope of retrieving my funds began to feel more tangible. While the emotional and financial impacts of the theft were still challenging to cope with, knowing that I had taken steps towards recovery provided some solace.Hacker Judas was able to recover a portion of my lost cryptocurrency. Although not everything was retrieved, the recovery of a significant part was a relief and helped restore some of my faith in the process. The experience was a harsh lesson in trust and vulnerability, but it also highlighted the importance of seeking professional help when faced with such dire circumstances.
