The wonders of God’s creation are all around us: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. But it is easy for us to take this bounty for granted—or worse, contribute to its destruction. It is our duty to tend to what has been given to us. These rituals and prayers remind us of the sacred nature of that task.
“Help us hear the pulsating song of the world”
“The 17-year-cicada knows nothing / of this mess we’ve made”
“The One who has the power to grant life / Gives to us what we cannot give to ourselves.”
“We are each given exactly one chance to be”
“Never let us forget/our sacred responsibility/to ensure that all are housed”
“All life on Earth depends on Interbreathing”
