Happy Earth Day!

It took the view of the earth from space… to give us the personal sense of a real live planet on which the living things, the air, the oceans, and the rocks all combine in one as Gaia… the living planet. -James Lovelock

THE GREAT HEART OF THE EARTH

Green leaves grow in the morning light

Blackbird on the wing

Sunlight glows in a great halo

It’s our golden ring

I feel you all around me

Like the hour of my birth

Beating in time with the magic red wine

Of the great heart of the earth

All things reach out for the sunlight

The hand of life everywhere

Wind in the trees whispers to the leaves

Waves of peace fill the air

I feel you all around me

Like the hour of my birth

Beating in time with the magic red wine

Of the great heart of the earth

The sun comes up in its glory

Just like the first dawn

Come and join in the story

The long night is gone
