Today's Earth Prayer

Goodnight God

I hope that you are having

a good time being the world.

I like the world very much.

I’m glad you made the plants

and trees survive with the

rain and summers.

When summer is nearly near

the leaves begin to fall.

I hope you have a good time

being the world.

I like how God feels around

everyone in the world.

God, I am very happy that

I live on you.

Your arms clasp around the world.

I like you and your friends.

Every time I open my eyes

I see the gleaming sun.

I like the animals—the deer,

and us creatures of the world,

the mammals.

I love my dear friends.

I made it home yesterday.  The plane was only 2 1/2 hours late.  I guess that’s good, comparatively.  It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night.  And the cats are being very careful to keep an eye on me now.  They don’t like it when I disappear for several days.  :)
