"Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; and His greatness is
so vast and deep as to be unsearchable. Our generation shall laud
Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on
Your wondrous works I will meditate."
(Psalm 145:3-5)

There is only one song I can think of that says Earth Day to me.
The beautiful lyrics of this classic 1960's folksong never fails to remind me
of how blessed I am to greet the sunrise each day, to hear the sweet
morning songs of the birds, to see spring flowers blooming in my yard,
to wonder at the red-gold hued masterpiece of a sunset, or the
pristine order of the heavens on a clear starry night...
Mid-Spring is the christening of the newborn season, the
perfect time to reflect on the beauty of God's creation... in the
pungent smell of newly turned earth, coupled with the sweet
fragrance of cut, sun-warmed grass...
the pristine white and delicate pink blossoms
of apple and peach tree orchards in bloom...
the profusion of green leafy hedges of violet blue lilacs...
and luscious strands of deep purple, wild wisteria vines
adorning backyard trees and trellises and back road meadows...
the undisputed flower queens of April... in all their
magnificent, if short-lived, glory...
Dare I forget all the joy that is mine.. Today.
