Rachel Carson Quote, "This Land is Our Land," Sermon - "Together We Can Save the City Farm," 9/17/17

Описание: “We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road — the one less traveled by — offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.” …

― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

What Does It Take?

Some come with plans to build on our land,
Improvements are what they declare;
But what could be better than what God has given?
It’s nature we want to keep there.
There’s plenty of city for them to enjoy
And real estate to buy and sell,
But we need this land to uplift our spirits,
A part of how we can stay well.

What does it take to make good things happen?
It takes you, it takes me, it takes us.
A lot more than spending an hour together
And all of these issues discuss.
It’s time to get out there and gather petitions,
To go to the Council, demand
This park must be kept, all down to the river,
For this park in deed is our land.
