== 7th season opening words ==
http://solseed.org/July_28,_2013:_Online_Work_Bee#Opening_words_for_the_service

<Each person begins with a cup of water>
:Barren worlds ... everywhere ... barren worlds ...
:But here ... <gasp> ... Earth! 

<light earth candle>

:Cities! Farms! Forests! Seas! 
:A living world poised to flower and spread.
:A living world supporting a beautiful civilization
:A living world, bursting with possibility.

:Our story begins with the people, our members ...
:We who answer the call! 

<Each person pours their water into a common bowl>

:As we practice, a movement forms,
:Binding our lives together,
:Reminding our elephants,
:Aligning our words and actions
:With our highest aspirations. 

<Each person dips their finger into the common bowl of water and then touches it to their mouth and opposite hand><symbolism: water is highest aspirations or community supporting highest aspirations; mouth is words and opposite hand is actions>

:We bring the new trees!
:The new trees make life's next great leap.
:The new trees take root on barren worlds. 

<lay a floatable tree seed (e.g. individual maple key or pine seed (not whole cone)) on the surface of the water>

:And ... we grow new homes!
:Bringing barren worlds to life,
:Colonies where life's upward spiral supports all spacefaring creatures. 

<light second candle the first week and one more each week through the season.>

:People. Practice. Trees. Colonies.
:From barren worlds ... <gasp> ... a family of living worlds.

===Dropped lines===
:The new trees diversify SolSeed,

:The new trees achieve a Destiny (suggested replacement we didn't use)

:Colonies of communion for all spacefaring creatures.

== Evaluation ==
* Eric ... I love working with you ... I am grateful for you being in my life
* Ben ... seems like we made good progress; thunder and music are impeding thought; I am glad the SolSeed Movement exists but I am not good at stating my feelings.
