A repeat of a post from last October.
A few days ago, we had a visit from the Wilderness Campaign Coordinator from Oregon Wild. Bridget, that being her name, took the opportunity of saying ‘hi’ as a consequence of her coming down from Northern Oregon to Ashland. Bridget was giving a presentation in Ashland regarding securing more wilderness areas in Oregon; a very worthy ambition. Jean and I have supported the organisation since we moved up to Oregon.
Anyway, I offered to use Learning from Dogs to support and promote any campaigns from OW that would be of interest to LfD readers. I sorted out some recent posts that would give Bridget and her colleagues an idea of what was published in this place and sent her the links.
One of the links that I forwarded was this post from last October. I just wanted to share it with you all again.
oooo
Embracing the poetry of nature.
The beauty of poetry.
In yesterday’s post, where I wrote about how Jean and I had the wonderful privilege of feeding a wild deer from our hands, I closed it with a p.s. This is what I wrote: “P.S. It is at times like this that we need poetry. So how about it: Sue? Kim? How would you describe in poetry what Jean and I experienced?“
Well, Sue, of Sue Dreamwalker, replied with a link to a poem of hers that she published back in 2012. I will say no more than republish, with permission, Sue’s beautiful words and close with one of the photographs from yesterday.
ooOOoo
Be at One with yourself
Be at one with the world
Be at One with Nature
And see your life unfurl
Close your eyes and imagine
The beginnings of a New Earth,
And Open your eyes to your beauty
Breathe in and give Birth.
For you are One and part of the Whole
Not a separate Unit , but a Beautiful Soul
United within the One Divine love
And part of that cosmic hub.
Share your love along with your Light
And Rejoice in Gratitude
Use your sight
To see a world in Beauty and Grace
You are stronger than you think you know
Spread a little Love where ever you go
Shower your peace and sprinkle your heart
Into the rivers of life send a ripple a spark
Be Calm, knowing all is well
Keep breathing in Peace for inside it dwells
Know you are where you are meant to be
Open your eyes
Come on now See
For we are ONE and it’s time to Unite
Stop all your hating, and judging and strife
Find your heart and clear out your mind
Seek out yourself
And Wisdom you’ll find
Let go of torments and allow the Joy in
Come on now people
It’s time to begin
Be One with yourself
Be One with the world
Be One with nature
And Let the Universe Spin
For the Spiral is turning and
Peace will Win..
