In the quiet of dawn, creation whispers a sacred song. Rocks stand firm, ancient as time; plants unfurl with life’s green thrum. Animals stir, sensing the day; angels watch, understanding the divine. Here, in this hallowed space, we find unity—a tapestry woven from the threads of existence. The earth cradles us, not to dominate but to cherish. We are kin to the soil, the breeze, the ripple, and the flame. In humility, we walk, hand in hand with all, seeing God in every leaf, every creature, every breath. Love binds us, to this world, to each other, to the Creator.
May we find unity in the sacred song of creation, cherishing our kinship with all beings, and walking humbly, bound by love to every corner of this wondrous world.
