— Opening poem by Kent Nerburn

Do we really need much more than this?

To honor the dawn.

To visit a garden.

To talk to a friend.

To contemplate a cloud.

To cherish a meal.

To bow our heads before the mystery of the day.

Are these not enough?

Noticing ancient and new. So much life in life.

Do we really need much more than this?

Stately trees reaching for the light and azure blue sky…

A swamp remembering its primordial ancestors…

A still, still pond basking in the sun…

A circle of friends to celebrate the day.
