by Bessie the Cow
The Interbeing chose me to speak to you because I know people-talk and people like cows. I rolled my eyes and said, “Yeah, they like us so much they eat us.” But they insisted and wore me down. How do you say no to a mountain?
So let me introduce myself: Bessie, the messenger of the Interbeing. You might wonder about for whom I speak, this Interbeing.
The rising sun brings the light
of a new day to our place,
a new opportunity to love and care for all.
All sacred.
Here on our beloved Earth,
we breathe its air and
drink its water.
The spirit within us all.
All sacred.
Green leaves turn toward the sun
to make food for all.
Great trees rise above us
sheltering all below.
All sacred.
The soaring, joyful birds
lift us upwards and
beyond the moon and stars
to bring us back to where we stand.
All sacred.
I send you the Interbeing’s greetings and our wish for you to have a good life wherever the Great Spirit has placed you.
