Thanks be to God, For the many kinds of plants, trees, and fruits, We celebrate.

For the centipedes, ants, and worms, For the mice, marmots, and bats, For the cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers We rejoice, That we find ourselves eclipsed by the magnitude Of generosity and mystery.

Thanks be to God. –Blessings of the Land from The Book of Common Prayer
