In the shade of life

ONENESS

Find in each drop

The ocean of oneness

Each is a particle of all

And every leaf a fragment

Of the universal tree

In every atom is a constellation

There is no all

Only one.

Original painting on silk and words by Annie Hill Otness

EQUILIBRIUM

The equilibrium of sun and moon at opposites of the sky

Moonrise  ~ sunset

Sunrise ~ moonset

Half of the heavens a starry night

Half of the celestial sphere

A cloudless vista of the sun.

A place for libra equa-librium.

Original painting on silk and verse

EARTHWORKS ~ FOREST

A forest is more than one tree ~

A life is more than one day.

What grows slowly and in secret shadows is precious.

Tread gently on Earth

For she is life and love always.

In the still forest birds are calling out their names;

Remember me – I am Wardung.  I am Djiti-dtjiti

And Marri and Jarrah whisper yes in the stillness.

ELEMENTS

Skyworks light the sky with joy ~

Waterworks wet the world with hope ~

Earthworks centre the world with strength ~

Fireworks drive the world with power.

One precious universe.

One only Earth beneath your feet is in your hands.

Quilt from 'Songs of Silk,' original painting on silk by AHOz

ALL THAT YOU ARE (EARTH)

All that you are comes from the Earth

In life I sustain

So in death she takes back.

All that you have, the mother gives to you,

All that she needs her creatures make.

Tread softly, for everything in the world is sacred.

Enjoy with love and care for all gifts
