View On Black
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each springimpassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
With beat of systole and of diastole
One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart,
And mighty waves of single Being roll
From nerveless germ to man, for we are part
Of every rock and bird and beast and hill,
One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill
One sacrament are consecrate, the earth
Not we alone hath passions hymeneal,
The yellow buttercups that shake for mirth
At daybreak know a pleasure not less real
Than we do, when in some freshblossoming wood
We draw the spring into our hearts, and feel that life is good
Is the light vanished from our golden sun,
Or is this daedalfashioned earth less fair,
That we are nature's heritors, and one
With every pulse of life that beats the air?
Rather new suns across the sky shall pass,
New splendour come unto the flower, new glory to the grass.
And we two lovers shall not sit afar,
Critics of nature, but the joyous sea
Shall be our raiment, and the bearded star
Shoot arrows at our pleasure! We shall be
Part of the mighty universal whole,
And through all Aeons mix and mingle with the Kosmic Soul!.
We shall be notes in that great Symphony
Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres,
And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be
One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years
Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die,
The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!.
Oscar Wilde
Please join as one tonight from 8 to 9 pm in turning off the lights
the computers and the TVs. Enjoy conversations with family and
friends. Turn off the cell phones enjoy the peace that surrounds us
but most never hear. Give the earth one hour of peace.
As photographers we should all give back to this wonderful earth that
shares so much with us everyday.

AWSOME shot
Maye also take time to read www.wattzon.org/gameplan.htm
An interesting way at the big picture but also how everyone is having an impact on climate & climate change. And how to minimize it.

Wow, I didn't even KNOW about this! It's a bit too late this evening, especially since hubby is watching basketball on tv *LOL* Maybe tomorrow afternoon we will try it. :-)
Does it count if we were watching "Planet Earth" on tv during the time of Earth Hour? Okay, okay, we'll do it tomorrow.
Your warm candlelight here is beautiful, Tammy!

I loved the concept of this and as I said, I wanted to...
I am thinking of forcing my family to do this one evening a week. The whole evening. We don't need TV or computer or electricity of any kind. We can just 'be' and enjoy life's simplicity. I love the idea.
