[Oe List ...] HAPPY EARTH MONTH--no foolin'!

[Lynda C]

Dear Ellie, I’m part of the Green Team at Davidson College Presbyterian Church.  I’ve been asked to share some Earth things that could be shown on the church’s website.  Could  this  poetry and song be one of those submissions?

This is fantastic.  Good engineering of graphics and words and moving images, plus your talented creativity with words.  I was in the hallway this week at the church when a streaming video of the church’s activities was being shown, and there was Chenoa and Jose and Leoandro’s photo.  I guess the several years of putting that name out there has finally worked, along with the support of Dr. Matt Samson from the college who was on Chenoa’s team one summer with a group of students in Latin America.

Hope we can get them (along with you and Carleton) to visit here.  Remembering your trip to Galax 20 years ago.

With thanks giving for these gifts,  Lynda.

HAPPY EARTH MONTH!

May we learn to live and "BE alive" in a way that will allow Earth and all that is in it to thrive to the seventh generation and beyond.

                                                               WE ARE THE WEB OF LIFE

We are the Web of Life,
    threads of all creation,
common origin bursting bright
    spins common destination--
twining from atom's flight
    to galaxies' mutation.
Planets, creatures, humans alike
    disclose cosmic imagination.
Earth's beauty and suffering plight
    craft universal incarnation.

Will it endure darkest night
    in bonded collaboration--
exuding elegant delight and
    bounteous celebration or
will its warping song decry
    to sustain strands' vibration and
its woofing dance succumb to fright
    in panicked conflagration?
Or can we confide
    in trust's reconciliation and ever abide
    in Heaven and Earth's consummation?

We are the Web of Life.
    What we do to the web is our own consecration.
