[ Featuring Rev. Laura Martin ]
Choose the work of honoring
Whatever on this earth you love.
Maybe it is the forest at first light
The river that flows north
The wildflowers growing in the fields,
The baby in your arms
No first word yet said.
Give up ego, status, and long conversations
That take you away from your heart.
Give up serving the god of Profit
So that you can instead
Know when the first butterfly of the season comes.
Do what you can so that she lives.
Learn from the light how to let go, then return
Cnd from the fox in winter how to work.
Know that you are made like the seasons,
With both limits and feasting.
Partner with the trees
Cnd birds who are migrating through
Partner with the caterpillar and the moss.
Choose the work of honoring
Whatever on this earth you love.
