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.

Filename not specified. 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. ejhs

Thank you Ellie. Beautiful xoxo Isobel Bishop Isobel and Jim Bishop isobeljimbish@optusnet.com.au
