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.
