Nature, Life and Being (PDF download)

Digital download: This meditative look at climate change, the sacrednesss of all life and human responsibility inspires us to be attentive, caring and empathetic with all beings:

Be gentle as you walk
on the good earth,
our home and lifegiver.
Touch with kindness
all that has being
and shares with you
this sacred space.

Despite a sometimes seemingly hopeless situation, we do have solutions within our grasp:

Look at your own hands,
small but with infinite possibilities.
Big problems need small solutions.
Put out your hand to those who have gone.
Their wisdom and faithfulness stays with us.
Be prophetic and creative;
reach out to those
who are to come
with love in your heart.

‘Joy Mead is a poet of great sensitivity and subtlety. She is a deeply religious poet, without being a Religious Poet, if you know what I mean. Genuine spirituality is located in the material, in the embodied: that seems to be how our God works. Joy Mead’s spirituality is grounded in the depths of so-called ‘ordinary’ life – the extraordinary life. That’s why she is one of my favourite poets.’
Ron Ferguson, author and award-winning journalist
