A Chant in preparation for Earth Day

Blog, Music for the Soul, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues

Twinkle shared this chant in today’s UU Waterville church service during the “Dirt Communion” in preparation for Earth Day.

I am the Earth in the air I breathe
I am the Earth in the water stream
I am the Earth in the fire’s heat
I am the Earth in my heart beat
I am the Earth in her wildest seas
I am the Earth in her springtime dreams
I am the Earth in her falling leaves
I am the Earth when moonlight gleams

August notes

Blog, Contemplative Services, Empowering Women, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues, Twinkle's Musings

August has continued to see lots and lots (loads and loads) of rain! Tuesday evening vespers services (Contemplative Services) have grown a bit of a following and it is a delight to watch this small ministry grow. Soon Twinkle will be returning to her regular contract with the Waterville Universalist church where she leads services twice per month September thru June. She is also going to be launching a new Empowering Women Maine Salon Style Gatherings. (more on that in future posts).

Twinkle took this photo one evening. She says, “While on Kineo this beach has the best vantage point for the most gorgeous sunsets!” She and her friends have spent quite a bit of time on-Island as they prepare for the next phases of Melusine’s Haven. Stay tuned for more exciting news to come for Melusine’s Haven as well for new Twinkle’s Place new location plans.

July notes

So far at the lake it has been rainy much of July. Even so, have managed some time on the boat and over to Kineo. Twinkle is delighted to support a Melusine’s Haven being established there and hope to soon have clearing begun and the driveway put in. This picture is the back of Kineo Mountain as viewed from Pebble Beach, just down the road from Melusine’s Haven.

Twinkle’s services at the Historic Log Chapel have been well received. She has one more Sunday service this month and will continue to offer her Tuesday evening Contemplative Services throughout the summer.
