Another World is Possible

Another World is Possible
by Rose Flint

Another world is possible.
We can dream it in, with our eyes
open to this Beauty, to all
that Earth gives each of us, each day
those miracles of dark and light --
rainlight, dawn, sun moon snow, stormgrey
and the wide fields of night always
somewhere opening their flower-
stars---this, this! Another world is

possible. With river and bird
sweet and free without fear, without
minds blind to harmondy, to how
we can hold. we have been too long
spoiled greedy children of Earth,
life of rocks and creatures
slipping out of our careless hands.
We must stand now and learn to love
as a Mother loves her child, each
precious heartbeat of her that is
ourselves, our path and our journey
into our dream of future, where
another world is possible
cradling this one in its arms.

Gaia's Message

Gaia's Message

(A poem by Maria Silmon)

I am here

in the scent of a flower

in the living rainbow of light

on a dew drop

on a blade of grass

I am in every ray of the sun's light

in every grain of sand and drop of rain

in the rising mist

in the heat of the morning sun

and I am living through you

I whisper my secrets to you

when you are waking

and sing to you my song

while you sleep

I teach you of love

and its unfolding

and hold you when you weep

I am a reflection of life's unfolding

and I too,

as you,

am evolving

I am growing and changing

just as you do

I am vast

and, like you

I am part of the great cosmic dance

of awakening and becoming

I dance with the planets and the stars

and sparkle

as a radiant emerald jewel

in the bed of the universe

(c) Maria Silmon 2002

Hail Mary

Hail Mary
Full of Grace
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of death.

An Ojibway Prayer

Teach Us Love, Compassion, Honor

Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness,
We know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.

We know that we are the ones
Who are divided
And the ones who must come back together
To walk in the Sacred Way.

Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us Love.
