  In the ocean
  A lot goes on beneath your eyes.
  Listen,
  They have clinics there too
  For the insane
  Who persist in saying things like:
  
  "I am independent from the Sea,
  God is not always around
  Gently
  Pressing against
  My body."
  
  Hafiz, from: 'The Gift' Translated by Daniel Ladinsky

  I see the Eucalyptus tree,
  It has shed it coat and gone free,
  raw and vulnerable and exposed,
  Healing and new growth,
  open to Love that will never close...

  La terre est belle, la terre est reine.
  Le petrole sort de ses arteres.
  Les hommes sont fous, et desesperent.
  Et pourtant, la terre va s en sortir.
  Moins sur est notre avenir.
  La terre est belle, la terre est reine.

  Mother Earth, in all your woundedness,
  we hear you calling.
  Mother Earth, in all your woundedness,
  we hear your vast power which restores, renews and heals.
  We have punctured you and your thick black blood
  is gushing from that deep wound,
  condemning the beautifully astounding and mystical marine life to a certain death.
  Collectively we allowed devastation of this magnitude.
  Collectively we can wrap you up,
  Sweet Mother, in all our white bandages of love
  and send peace out into the world,
  connect with you and embrace you,
  connect with each other and embrace each other,
  from shore to shore to shore.
  We must heal your waters
  return to you as the waves return to the sand and out again into the darkness.
  See our awesome potential.
  See your awesome potential.
  Sweet Mother, know we are one.
  We are all one.

  "Anything we destroy leaves its imprint on our own spirit, whether on the personal or cultural level, automatically becoming a future medicine when it emerges into conscious experience" (The Ascent of Humanity, Charles Eisenstein, p. 555).

  Ojibway Prayer
  by Ojibway (Anonymous) (19th Century) Timeline
  
  
  Grandfather,
  Look at our brokenness.
  We know that in all creation
  Only the human family
  Has strayed from the Sacred Way.
  We know that we are the ones
  Who are divided
  And we are the ones
  Who must come back together
  To walk the Sacred Way.
  Grandfather,
  Sacred One,
  Teach us love, compassion, and honor
  That we may heal the earth
  And heal each other.

  I hold you in my heart.
  My thoughts and prayers
  Spiral between heaven and earth
  Whispering your name
  And beseeching your healing.

  I wish for meaning that might weave oneself and the world together. I pray for meaning that is not dictated from above the earth, but palpable, embedded, and experienced in daily life. The seeds of this deeper meaning do not spring from an opposition to nature, but instead, takes nature as a source. Not every vestige of meaning is recognizable as thought, but known by those who are earthed and remain so in earthly process. This consciousness must be spoken and re-enacted in ritual. Thank you, Bonnie, for inviting us into this "prayer wall of poetry" and writing. L.

  whatever we love (like a you or a me)
  it's always ourselves we find in the sea. ~ ee cummings

  From the deepest space in my being I offer my silent compassion for all the beings impacted by this great tragedy and devastation. May this be the call we need to heal our sweet Mother Earth.
