With Earth Day upon us I offer you this blessing. We have only one planet to rest our heads, it is in our best interest to seek the wisdom in our DNA from the earth. In this way we can fulfill our propose and live in harmony with creation.

The Blessing of Earthiness: Next Step ~by Neil Douglas-Klotz ~

Grant what we need each day in bread and insight:
subsistence for the call of
growing life.

Give us the food we need to grow
through each new day,
through each illumination of life’s needs.

Let the measure of our need be earthiness:
give all things simple, verdant,
passionate.

Produce in us, for us, the possible:
each only-human step toward home
lit up.

Help us fulfill what lies within
the circle of our lives: each day we ask
no more, no less.

Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath
supporting all.

Generate through us the bread of life:
we hold only what is asked to feed
the next mouth.

Grant what we need each day in bread and insight.

Rev. Kimberly Wootan
