We have a beautiful mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal
Her blue body
everything we know.

Thanks! Yes, the ritual event "Praises for the World" is on DVD, available at Jennifer Berezon's website - truly an inspiring event. I watch it all the time, and it's where I first learned about Drew Dellinger's poem.
