Today’s quotation—and what we’ll offer for the next three days—is from “World as Lover, World as Self”, by Joanna Macy. It’s called, The Three Beings. We’ll post one of each of the three beings over the next three days:

We call first on the beings of the past: Be with us now, all you who have gone before. You, our ancestors and teachers, who walked and loved and faithfully tended this Earth, be present to us now so that we may carry on the legacy you bequeathed us. Aloud and silently in our hearts we say your names and see your faces. . .
