Solstice Celebration: The Earth Is My Church

[The] heart away from nature becomes hard. --Standing Bear

--and if the heart becomes hard, life becomes hard....


Whether you will be celebrating Summer or Winter solstice, my friend, I wish you and your dear ones continued blessings, and an ever-increasing sense of connection and communication with the Mother Earth.

Lyrics from Video:
The Earth Is My Church
by Periel Marr Stanfield, Alex Beroza & Brad Stanfield

When I put on my Sunday best
I proceed to get undressed
My holy temple requires no clothes
No high heels, no pantyhose

I’m not trying to be malicious
Heretical or sacrilegious
I’m not an atheist, it’s just the reverse
I’m a human soul on a spiritual search

The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first

I don’t need no preacher man
No Sunday school, no master plan
No fiery hell, no mighty sword
No oxy-moronic “holy” wars

I don’t have to bash the bible
All I need for my survival
Is the sun, the sea, the sky, the dirt
And that’s the whole story, chapter and verse

The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first

At one with nature’s innocence
The dolphins and the elephants
I kiss the trees, embrace the sky
I harmonize with the butterflies

Freedom is the final fruition
Of the fate of the human condition
Corruption of religion is history’s curse
Universal love’s the only vision of worth

The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first

The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church

The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church

God's glory is manifest in all of His creations...the earth is beautiful and for sure I, as well as many, find it easier to connect with God without the confining walls of a church, but instead in the sanctuary of a forest.
Beautiful poem.

I've been reading your blog ever since I stumbled into your awsome Sacred Vow book.I was looking for information on alternative universes and,my God,your rendition of it was exactly what I was looking for,exept it was even more,expressed in the most poetic,articulate and magical way possible.Thank you for searching deep into your heart and soul and intellect to find and then give us back that blessed book!By the way,is there a way I can find and buy this book as an ebook?The link I found isn't working!Peace,love and gratitude

Thank you for your kindness and support, Thank you for your help.
Amazon.com has Sacred Vow in Kindle format. Google Editions also has it. Mobipocket.com has the standard ebook version.
You inspire me to return to that place from which such stories come, my friend. Thank you. I have been waiting, for guidance when the time is right for Sacred Vow's sister novel.
blessings,
