From SolSeed
Contents |
Opening words
Brandon
- We gather to begin our week
- To align our hearts as one.
- First came Sol, the sun, the fire that sparks life into being.
- (Light the candles)
Shelley
- Then came the Earth, our only home, both the shaper of life and the clay from which life makes itself.
- (Run fingers through the earth)
Ben
- Then came the water, the sea where the first life swam, the sea that swims inside each of us.
- (Drink water)
Brandon
- Finally life made the air, turning sunlight into fuel, freely available to all breathing creatures.
- (Deep breaths)
- Fire, Earth, Water, Air.
Meditation
Shelley
- Please join me for seven minutes of silence while we meditate on the story of life on our world, as well as the many stories of life on other worlds, some of which have yet to be written.

SolSeed Creed
Ben
- We believe that:
- The Destiny of SolSeed
- is to take root amongst the stars.
Shelley
- Sol,
- Terra,
- you,
- me,
- we,
- ALL,
- we,
- me,
- you,
- Terra,
- are precious SolSeed.
Brandon
- As SolSeed's intelligent spark,
- We are its caretakers,
- We must fulfill The Destiny.
Ben
- We believe that:
- Our holy duty is to
- embrace Self Love,
- cultivate Empathy,
- and pursue Wisdom,
- so that our being honors SolSeed,
- and our striving hastens
- the fulfillment of The Destiny.
Shelley
- Self Love is motive.
- Without Self Love,
- Empathy and Wisdom are impotent.
- I pledge to learn to love myself; to
- become a person I cherish,
- admire, and care for.
Brandon
- Empathy is transcendent.
- Without Empathy,
- Self Love and Wisdom are evil.
- I pledge to cultivate empathy in
- myself and others; to share and
- demonstrate my concern for
- others and for the growing life all
- around me.
Ben
- Wisdom is effective.
- Without Wisdom,
- Self Love and Empathy are feeble and capricious.
- I pledge to seek wisdom; to honor
- my past, to strive for the future, to
- be open to new ideas and new
- beliefs, and to share my wisdom
- with others.
Shelley
- Through Self Love, Empathy, and Wisdom
- we have come to know that:
ALL
- We are SolSeed;
- Children of the sun,
- Awakened by starlight,
- Growing, nurturing, protecting,
- We bring life!
Extinguishing the Chalice
Ben
We extinguish this chalice, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community or the fires of commitment ... these we carry in our hearts until we are together again.
Closing words
Shelley
May your week be blessed with life and love. Blessed be.
