Can Medea turn into Gaia?

I've come across some articles on the idea of earth not only as Gaia, a nurturing, benevolent mother; or perhaps a Medea, one who ultimately destroys her children.
Certainly, the history of earth, in which she has endured while species have been born and died through the eons - much before humans came to the planet, gives credence to both ideas.
When talking about death, I've been known to say : "There's one cause of death:life!"
Oxygen helps us to grow and then to decay. Yes, of course, it's the cycle.
So perhaps that's what it is : not a Medea vs Gaia; but Medea turning to Gaia turning to Medea turning to....
Where are we in all this? As children of Mother Earth, we sense her processes, and do what needs to be done. When we needed to build and grow and 'fight' the forces of nature, we did so. Now we realize we've overshot the mark, become seduced by our own actions, and forgotten to listen to her heart.
So now, we're listening again.
The spiral numbers rise again! Just to take us one step up...or down [there is no up or down in space!]
For now, we use the pattern of 9:09 as a reminder: send your highest vibration into Gaia. Perhaps this time, Medea will breathe as Gaia.

Throughout its history, life on Earth has been beset by mass extinctions - and almost all of them were triggered by life itself. [interactive timeline at New Scientist]

JIM Lovelock and Nobel prize-winning novelist William Golding, gave the name Gaia, referring to the Greek goddess of the earth, to the living organism of earth.

Meenakshi, this is a major confrontation with existence. Terrifying and enlightening at the same time. My highest vibe goes into Gaia. Can we get higher? Does higher mean lower on the other end of the stretch?
Light 'n Love,

Nino, I was a little terrified writing it I've to admit. But it occurs to me that it's easier to talk of Mother Earth and her bounty when sitting in human comforts than in a hot and humid jungle with insects biting you. So, to be really 'realistic', I wanted to see our existence here as it is, as human beings have, loving and hating nature; living with it and fighting it; nurturing it and being nurtured….we've to be as realistic as possible, let go of past and present hurts and then re-balance what we sometimes experience as Medea and sometimes as Gaia.
