Today's Earth Prayer

[willowoak]

Through the weeks of deep snow

we walked above the ground

on fallen sky, as though we did

not come of root and leaf, as though

we had only air and weather

for our difficult home.

 

          But now

as March warms, and the rivulets

run like birdsong on the slopes,

and the branches of light sing in the hills,

slowly we return to earth.

 

–       Wendell Berry

 

Happy March everyone.  :)  Although we HAVEN’T had weeks of deep snow, at least not here in Minneapolis.  Other places HAVE had the deep snow.
