Taking a Stand
 
As we witness the damage being done to the Earth, we are all diminished. We experience the sense of loss and it is profound. As part of the Earth’s living systems, we recognise that    the damagie is not separate from us. We are part of the damage done. We perpetrate it and we suffer from it. Deep grief comes from waking up to our interconnection with all of life. We are all being called to feel the grief, to wake up and live with more care. 
 
We’re walking on the Earth
Walking lightly on the land
But what we feel is heavy so
We’re taking a stand
 
For all that is fragile
For all that’s being hurt
For all that needs saving
For love of the Earth
     
We’re listening to the Earth
To songs of sea and land
But what we hear is crying so
We’re taking a stand
 
For all that is fragile
For all that’s being hurt
For all that needs saving
For love of the Earth
For love of the Earth     
For love of the Earth
