God's Green Earth
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by lyrics to “Pay Attention” Joyce Johnson Rouse (Earth Mama), based on wisdom attributed to Chief Seattle):
Pay attention to the trees, pay attention to the river.
Pay attention to the bees. Pay attention to the weather.
Pay attention to the waters, to the dreams, to the forests, to the streams.
Pay attention to the glaciers, to the breeze, to the frost line and the coastline and the coral beneath the seas.
Pay attention to the wisdom, to the brothers and sisters living close to the Earth.
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We are just borrowing it from our children.
This we know: The Earth does not belong to us. We belong ….to the Earth. -
The Power of Love
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by lyrics to “Love Is Everything” by Denise Rosier:
Love is the power that moves like the mighty sea, the peace that brings wars to cease. Love is everything.
Love is the voice that calls us into being. It’s the joy that makes a songbird sing, the word that every language speaks, the Name that is above all things.
Love is everything.
Love can’t hide, be pushed aside, or be unseen.
It’s you and me. Love is everything.
Love stands beside us. It goes before us. Love is everything.
It moves around us, it restores us. Love is everything. -
Spirit on the Move
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by lyrics to “Spirit Move!” by Denise Rosier:
There is no holding back the power in this room right now,
Rising up as a force of love so high it can’t come down.
Every soul is a soul on fire Burning bright with the Light of Life
Here we are open wide; there’s no place we can hide
Like a river deep and, rolling out like a mighty flood,
Love’s filling every heart and pouring out of us.
Feel it breaking down the walls, building everybody up.
It’s taking over now; there’s no way it can stop.
Spirit move everything. Spirit move in the space between. Spirit move. -
Rise
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by lyrics to “Rise” by Faith Rivera – We rise as one!
I close my eyes, I open my heart. I take a deep breath, let the healing start.
I lift my hands. I plant my feet. I let love in, I feel the beat that’s calling us to rise!
I ready my soul. I clear my mind. I’m here and now in present time.
I feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
No turning back, onward to Promised Land!
We feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
Love’s calling out my name. Love’s calling – that’s why we came! Rise up!
Reach for the sky! Going up high, Love is alive. We’re bringing the light! -
A Season of Possibles
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by an Irish blessing:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. -
Butterfly
Leddy Hammock
Inspired by lyrics to “Butterfly” by Jana Stanfield & Joyce Johnson Rouse
Please tell me again, I’m gonna be alright.
I can feel a change is comin’, I can feel it in my skin.
I can feel myself outgrowing this life I’ve been living in.
All of the things that we long for are born on the wings of change.
Losses can lead us to blessings that we can’t explain.
Butterflies remind us, there’s magic in every life.
