We cannot heal the earth unless we love and respect it.
--Pope Francis
May we raise children
who love the unloved
things – the dandelion, the
worms & spiderlings.
Children who sense
the rose needs the thorn
& run into rainswept days
the same way they
turn towards sun…
And when they’re grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things
and be the ones.
--Nicolette Sowder
Tomorrow is Earth Day!
Celebrate God’s Creation!
