Invocation by Bonita Blumenauer
Lao Tzu #2 Ursula LeGuin translation followed by 5 minutes of silence.
Everybody on earth knowing that beauty is beautiful makes ugliness.
Everybody knowing that goodness is good makes wickedness.
For being and nonbeing arise together; hard and easy complete each other; long and short shape each other; high and low depend on each other; note and voice make the music together; before and after follow each other.
Poetry byTerry Roos

Closing Music: “Precious Spring” by Howard Kranz
- When that April with her sprouty shooters pierces our March right through to the rooters, o what a day! o what a day!
The cold is cured, now the winter’s endured; the pigeon on the porch just gave me the word; he said o what a day! o what a day!
Chorus: Precious springtime, carry myself to me
I have never been so ready; I have never been so in need. Storm of sunshine, beat me till I bleed.
I am rolling home as bleached as a bone, as big as a bursting seed.
- It’s been so long since I’ve uncovered my heart, since I’ve given my all or taken my part, now o what a day! o what a day!
Cause now all the people are out on the street, or they’re down in the backyard with mud on their feet singing o what a day! o what a day!
Repeat chorus twice.
