Green Fire - A Story in Four Photos

The Japanese Maple unfurls its little hands. Hands that help it breathe, hands that help us breathe, today remind me of healing hands in Japan, those busy in labor and clasped in prayer. The bleeding hearts return each year reminding us to keep our hearts open especially to the things that make us bleed, to keep opening to everything, every thing life brings.

Stars sprinkle the innerverse of the trillium.

As summer's day lilies evidence the Green Fire.

Hearts, hands, stars, fire
Spirit and the land conspire.
Can we stay open in our hearts
Use our hands, do our part.

Stars, fire, hearts, hands
Spirit's here. Awaken man.

May the Green Fire of Earth awaken our Green Fire within.
