#74 Equinox Blessing

by Heather Houston

Honoring the darkness, Honoring the light,

Honoring the day, Honoring the night

All things find their way into balance

Suspended in time

Shadows and light

#205 Set It Right

by Ana Hérnandez

Call: There’s a great trouble in the land 

Resp: We’re gonna set it right again 

(3x)

All: We’re gonna set it right, set it right again. 

More verses to zip in:

Trouble’s been brewing too many years

We need clean water and healthy food

People need housing, we’ve a right to thrive

Mass deportations tearing families apart

We are the ones who can change the world

We need education to build a just world

Families need childcare, they don’t need to go broke

We need fair wages, rich folk need to be taxed!

Add more verses to suit your actions.

#146 Begin Again

by Jean Farmer

I begin again with my breath,

joining earth,

earth and spirit.

I return again to my breath,

​walking home the unknown path.

#168 The Net

by Patricia Norton

(inspired by Sri Nisargadatta)

The net that I thought

was holding me,

it is full of holes, full of holes.

The net that I thought

was holding me,

it is full of holes!

The net that I thought

was holding me tight –

it is not a big barrier,

I can get by it.

The net that I thought

was holding me,

it is Full. Of. Holes.

There is a ground of truth

beyond the net!

(a gazillion times)

Like the water,

I’m falling free. (4x)

#184 Where the Moss Grows

by David Ruffin

Where the river flows

and the moss on boulder grows,

we can remember what we deeply know.

There is time to be here

and see what becomes clear...

when we let it go,

and go where the moss grows.

Oh, when we let it go,

​and go where the moss grows.

#36 Brighter Days

by Jenny Cook

There's so much hope in a snowdrop,

the promise of spring to come.

Hold on, hold on

through the cold,

brighter days will come.
