Poultice - Brother Richard Hendrick

Poultice – Brother Richard Hendrick

Words of WonderBy Fay AdamsOctober 28, 2023

Now, In this time of times perhaps we have such need again, for a poultice placed gently and with kindness upon the rounded body of the earth where too long our self-sickness has burrowed deep within and brought the breaking and the burning of fever dream, of pain and sorrow become now a crown of…

The Lost Words Blessing – Robert Macfarlane

Words of WonderBy Fay AdamsAugust 23, 2022

Enter the wild with care, my love And speak the things you see Let new names take and root and thrive and grow And even as you travel far from heather, crag and river May you like the little fisher, set the stream alight with glitter May you enter now as otter without falter into…

Hope - Nicholas Mazza

Hope – Nicholas Mazza

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonOctober 27, 2021

Hope is the belief that one hand reaching to another can eventually touch the moon, allowing the light to guide us through the night. by Nicholas Mazza   In this week before COP26 starts, I found myself reflecting on hope, where to find it when it feels illusive, and on the role it plays in…

Who shall bear hope - Marge Piercy

Who shall bear hope – Marge Piercy

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonJanuary 13, 2021

Who shall bear hope, who else but us? After us is the long wind blowing off the ash pit of blasted genes, or after, the remarrying of the earth and the water. We must begin with the stone of mass resistance, and pile stone on stone on stone, begin cranking out whirlwinds of paper, the…

Winter Solstice - Rebecca Parker

Winter Solstice – Rebecca Parker

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonDecember 23, 2020

Perhaps for a moment the typewriters will stop clicking, the wheels stop rolling the computers desist from computing, and a hush will fall over the city. For an instant, in the stillness, the chiming of the celestial spheres will be heard as earth hangs poised in the crystalline darkness, and then gracefully tilts. Let there…

I worried - Mary Oliver

I Worried – Mary Oliver

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonOctober 20, 2020

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not how shall I correct it? Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better? Will I ever be able to sing, even the…

To the New Year - W.S. Merwin

To the New Year – W.S. Merwin

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonJanuary 6, 20192 Comments

With what stillness at last you appear in the valley your first sunlight reaching down to touch the tips of a few high leaves that do not stir as though they had not noticed and did not know you at all then the voice of a dove calls from far away in itself to the…
