Earth Prayer for the day...

To be of the Earth is to know

     the restlessness of being a seed

     the darkness of being planted

     the struggle toward the light

     the pain of growth into the light

     the joy of bursting and bearing fruit

     the love of being food for someone

     the scattering of your seeds

     the decay of the seasons

     the mystery of death

     and the miracle of birth

 

     –John Soos

 

I REALLY like this one.  REALLY, really.
