Nature's Calling

During a recent retreat to Kirkridge for Earth Care weekend (May 6-8, 2005), volunteers were asked to write down, enact or recall a moment during the day when nature spoke to them. Being the person that i am, just about everything spoke to me and i had difficulty choosing a particular moment; hence, the collage. Nature’s Calling - a collage of memories from Earth Care weekend at Kirkridge Retreat Center, May 6-8 2005. Wind howling Trees swaying Water flowing Flowers blooming Birds Chirping Clouds looming Leaves rustling Bells ringing Forget-me-nots waving Bumble bees buzzing Fossils forming Lakes glistening Rocks jutting Trails blazing Benches beckoning Insects crawling Sun warming Branches snapping Pine needles crackling Pebbles crunching Rakes scratching Grass whispering Shadows dancing Streams trickling Paddles paddling Dogs barking Fires cooking Leaves crunching Fish swimming Ponds sparkling Chapels hiding Spiders sticking Poison ivy climbing Altars forming Stones circling Owls cooing Maypoles flapping Labyrinth walking Bridges connecting Seasons changing People responding Nature Calling.
