Here are some readings we've used at our [[Weekly Service Calls]]
==== Lost (poem) ====
:''Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you''
:''Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,''
:''And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,''
:''Must ask permission to know it and be known.''
:''The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,''
:''I have made this place around you,''
:''If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.''
:''No two trees are the same to Raven.''
:''No two branches are the same to Wren.''
:''If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,''
:''You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows''
:''Where you are. You must let it find you.''
:: - David Wagoner
==== The Earth (poem) ====
:''Two-thirds water.''
:''One-third land.''
:''Valleys deep.''
:''Mountains grand.''
:''Sky of blue.''
:''Clouds of gray.''
:''Life here, too -- ''
:''Think I’ll stay.''
==== After the Gold Rush (third verse of a song) ====
:''Well, I dreamed I saw the silver''
:''Space ships flying'' (sic)
:''In the yellow haze of the sun,''
:''There were children crying''
:''And colors flying''
:''All around the chosen ones.''
:''All in a dream, all in a dream''
:''The loading had begun.''
:''They were flying Mother Nature's''
:''Silver seed to a new home in the sun.''
:''Flying Mother Nature's''
:''Silver seed to a new home.''
:: — Neil Young
