Garden of Eden

Happy Earth Day!

Sunday, April 22, 2012 

What brings you joy on this amazing blue/green Earth?

What do you do each day to care for it?

 

Poem by Judy Chicago
adapted by Laura Evonne Steinman

 

And then all that has divided us will merge

And then compassion will be wedded to power

And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and unkind

And then (all people) will be gentle

And then (all people) will be strong

And then no person will be subject to another's will

And then all will be rich and free and varied

And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of many

And then all will share equally in the Earth's abundance

And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old

And then all will nourish the young

And then will cherish life's creatures

And then all will live in harmony with one another and the Earth

                                       And then everywhere will be called Eden once again.

 

We'll be planting Eden at ASC on Sunday!
