The recording can speak for itself today, though I believe you can access the transcript that Substack generates.
And I’ve come up with this poem as well that you might enjoy.
I touch the trees..
…hear the birds…
…smell the wood…
…see its beauty, its life…
…value its life…
I am grateful for its life
I am grateful for the whole of nature…
…for all she does for us all the time.

Picture a bird in the sky
Imagine the view
Imagine the landscape
Imagine the vista that bird sees
I envy that opportunity birds have to be in the sky
Imagine what that bird has to teach us
What would that bird say today
To us as the human race
And to me
*
Imagine a worm
Or maybe a rat, or a mole, or a badger
All those creatures who live much of their time within the earth
Creating homes within the earth herself
Imagine what their perspective on life is
Being in the darkness of the earth
Coming up when they do and what they see here
Imagine what those creatures have to teach us
What would they say today
To us as the human race
And to me
