Some verses I wrote to mark the middle point in Windhorse's Closing Ritual
Verses to the Earth
We who have worked here for many years,
have seen men and women come,
and men and women go.
The earth alone will remember us,
The dreams that were realised,
the dreams that were broken
The tales and myths of our collective endeavour here.
We ask the earth to remember our aspirations and experience
The history of what has taken place here,
may it be recollected and upheld
the countless faces, past and present
who made their work right livelihood,
all those who worshipped the Buddha,
all those who practiced the Dharma,
all those who created a Sangha here.
To this
May the earth bear witness
May the earth bear witness
May the earth bear witness
