Earth Day - April 22

"Celebrate morning
The cry of a loon on a lake in the night
The dreams that are born in the dawn's early light
Celebrate morning
Celebrate living
The laughter that sings in the heart of a child
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild
Celebrate living
Celebrate evening
The stars that appear in the loss of the sun
Whispering winds, 'We are one, we are one'
Celebrate evening
Celebrate Earth day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me
Celebrate Earth day, every day"

~~Words and music by John Denver
"Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon.

There are plenty of people who pray for peace
If praying were enough it would have come to be
Don't ever let your words enslave no one
And the heavens will hush themselves to hear
Our voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers
Move out of the way
There's a new army coming
And we're armed with faith
To live we must give
To live."
~~ Jewel, Life Uncommon

You're welcome, Sandy. I had fun putting it together, snooping through my photos for the ones that made me happy right then, and listening to the lyrics that spoke in that particular moment.

Happy Earth Day!
