Singing the Song of the Earth – Psalm 19

Psalm 19 is a song of the earth that says the stars make manifest their sacred source.  The Psalmist says we ourselves feel that same law written within ourselves.
We emerge from the earth and bear its fingerprint in every part of our being.  Environmentalism is dancing to the pulse of life beating in our blood …
and in the blood of a whale, in the heart of a humming bird.

Earth Care is looking at the periodic chart as the sheet music of a cosmic hymn.
