Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 May all I say and all I think be in harmony with thee God within me, God beyond me, maker of the trees. In me be the windswept truth of shorepine, fragrance of balsam and spruce, the grace of hemlock. In me the truth of douglas fir, straight, tall, strong-trunked land hero of fireproof bark. Sheltering tree of life, cedar’s truth be mine, cypress truth, juniper aroma, strength of yew. May all I say and all I think be in harmony with thee, God within me, God beyond me, maker of the trees. In me be the truth of streamlover willow soil-giving alder hazel of sweet nuts, wisdom-branching oak. In me the joy of crabapple, greatmaple, vinemaple, cleansing cascara and lovely dogwood. And the gracious truth of the copper branched arbutus, bright with color and fragrance be with me on the Earth. May all I say and all I think be in harmony with thee, God within me, God beyond me, maker of the trees. ~~~ Chinook Psalter Page 180-81 (Blessings and Invocations) Earth Prayers >From Around the World, 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations For Honoring the Earth. Roberts and Amidon, Harper Collins ****************************************** A Wedding Gift I hear you singing, dear, inviting me to your limb. I am coming, for all we do is a preparation for love. I hear you singing, my Lord, inviting me to your throne. We are coming, dear, for all the toil you have blessed us with is a preparation to know and hold the sacred. I hear you singing, my soul, but how can it be that God’s voice has now be come my own? “That is just a wedding gift for our Divine Union,” my Beloved said. ~~~ Saint Francis of Assisi Page 44, Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West. Daniel Ladinsky, Penguin Compass. ******************************************** Anyone Who Suffered I would not leave this earth until God promised me that my hands could always touch the face of anyone who suffered. ~~~ Saint Francis of Assisi Page 42, Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West.
