Austin, may you see our world this Thanksgiving in a new and glorious light!

Continue to cherish where you came from, Roderick!

As you face your own irreversible changes, know you are supported by many others throughout the world, Eduardo.

Thanks for all the motivational musings! I’ll see Sister Jan on Saturday and will personally thank her for introducing you to the Franciscanized World page. We hope to hear from you again.

This is a great song that talks about changes in life. I am currently going through various irreversible changes that I have to live with and from which I will learn a lot. Great song, with meaningful lyrics.

well i like this song because it is saying that even though people tell you to do some things that are of the world, this song is telling you cherish where you came from and be the great christian that you are.

I love the way that this song refers to how the world is changing. How we are becomming more modernized and not appreciate nature anymore. This song makes me want to see the world in a new glorious light.

Starting in 2000, cities across the U.S. launched Earth Charter Community Summits. The city of Manitowoc has done its part to become a sustainable community-healthy and whole. This sounds like a Franciscanized World where green cedars and all of creation are held sacred.

Holly,

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

You will certainly go back to CA a different person than you left… and that will be a gift to those to whom you will return.

I encourage you to watch for gifts that will emerge within you that will be a blessing to others. God is full of those kinds of “happenings.”

I hope you will continue to keep in touch with all of us on the blog. Sounds like you have a beautiful reflective spirit.

Sr. Ann Marie- you were very right about this song. I do love it and it does remind me a lot about home and what things are going to be like for me. I feel like I’m excited and scared at the same time to know that I’m going to be graduated in 3ish weeks and will be heading back to California. I know that even though it hasn’t been that long that I have been away certain things will be different.

Thanks, Mike, John, Megan, Kate, Lauren and Steph for your comments. All of you were very affirming of the message of ‘Cedars’.

Your reflections and Andrew McKnight’s music reminded me of the young woman who “silenced the world at the United Nations”. This address offers an environmental context for listening to ‘Cedars’ one more time.Click below.

The song is very good. It sounds like a country song. It tells about the old days and the way they used to be.
