“Everywhere is the green of new growth, the amazing sight of the renewal of Earth. We notice the bright green atop the dark green on the pine, the fir, the hemlock, the spruce, the cedar.

May we today be touched by grace, fascinated and moved by this your creation, energized by the power of new growth at work in your world. May spring come to us, be in us, and recreate life in us.” — Chinook Prayer
