Some background. After Carleton, and I "retired" in 2011, we decided we wanted to focus our work on addressing the environment from the Universe Story perspective. In 2012 we decided to host a winter/spring environmental film series in Ferguson to start our effort, which included showing "Journey of the Universe". The last program in May was not a film but the "Awakening the Dreamer" Symposium. It was also part of the ICA 50th Anniversary Event. For that event, I wrote the song "Let the Earth Breathe". Out of that event came a core of people who were interested in pursuing environmental issues and eventually became the Ferguson Eco Team which is still active (and will be re-showing that film April 15). <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div id=yiv7989827657><div><div><div><div id=yiv7989827657><div><div id=yiv7989827657><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Later that year Chenoa and I made an audio recording of our singing the song together (not professional--mainly just to have a record of it) which I sent out over the ICA list serve and was later included as part of the Ecumenical (Church of Australia) Season of Creation resource curriculum (www.seasonofcreation.org). Since then, it has been used in several services and other events. Over the years, as we have experienced the intersectionality of issues related to the environment, racism, pandemic, economic/social disparities, the song has taken on additional levels of meaning. In 2020 Chenoa and I started working on photos that could accompany it. We finished that in January, and Carleton and I used it for a zoom environmental session (1st of a four part environmental series) we did February 21 with Central Presbyterian Church in Denver, CO, coordinated and facilitated by Sherwood and Eunice Shankland. (Jim and OliveAnn Slotta were also present, commenting on their work related to the <i>Accelerate </i>Environmental Forums they are facilitating in the Denver area).
