GAIS - is for those who love life and art. |
Its objects cannot be defined merely in words or music or in the things we see, touch and smell. |
The following poem may help the unitiatated: |
On Summer's hill on Summer's eve Within the golden wood they came To learn with awe and reverence And not for glory nor for fame. They came to be at one with self, At one with life - that precious gift - They came together to call themselves The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift. Into the secret copse they came To stand in a cool and ancient clearing To make a vow forevermore Within each other's and Gaia's hearing - To pledge their bodies and minds and spirits To all of life whether strong and swift Or weak and slow, to always be The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift. Naked they stood before the world Yet the contours of their minds were set Like the roots of trees within the ground Beneath the hill. Yes, there they met, In meditation, with past souls And future beings set adrift Upon the sea of time and space, The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift. As men and women they joined hands In symbol of the sun and moon, Their children would like stars become, Kept safe as if in earth's cocoon. Other men spill blood in war, Between compassion there is a rift, But no-one destoys the spirit among The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift. On Summer's hill on Summer's eve They left the golden wood behind And, after bathing in a stream, Homeward walked, within each mind A purpose and a growing love For all who would embrace the gift, The sight, the sound, the smell, the touch Of the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift. |
"The Earth (Gaia) has special parts and feedback loops that keep it in a state that is "comfortable" for life. All life and other processes at work in the Earth serve to enable life to continue." |
The only danger is Humankind. |
