1: Expression of Life
I am a divine expression of life.
I am loving and lovable.

I am loving loving and lovable.

2: Mother Ertha
Ertha, mother, giver of life.
Fountain of our energy,
Nurturer, sustainer,
source of our bodies and souls,
blessed be She.
Let us be mindful of Her.
Let us love all beauty in Her.
Let us not forget our dept to Her.
Let us protect Her other children,
our animal sisters; The swimmers, crawlers, runners, flyers!
Ertha, mother, giver of life.
Let us love Goddes Ertha,
until She gatters us in.
To return once more to Her substance,
to be absorbed by Her womb.
Let us love,
Goddes Ertha.
Let us love,
Goddes Ertha.
To be Eartha.
Blessed be She.
3: Filled with lasting Joy
May all beings, be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings, everywhere;
the strong and the weak;
the great and the small;
the mean and the powerful;
the subtle and the gross;
May all beings, be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings, everywhere;
Seen and unseen;
dwelling far of or nearby;
being or waiting to become;
May all beings, be filled with joy and peace.
May all be filled with lasting joy!
4: Peace of the Goddess
By the Earh, that is Her body.
By the air, that is Her breath.
The peace of the Goddes go in our hearts.
By the fire, that is Her bright spirit.
By the living water of Her womb.
The peace of the Goddes go in our hearts.
By the earth, by the air, by the fire, by the water;
The circle is open, but unbroken.
Blessed be.
5: Return of the Goddess
We all came from the Goddes,
and, to Her we shall return.
Like a drop, of rain,
flowing, to the ocean.
