In this week’s installment of The Merry Mystic, I share a new hymn about the earth. Three weeks ago I shared an upbeat, celebratory one: “The Harmony of the Incredible Earth.” Today’s offering is more of a lament. It balances out my feelings about this wonderful earth we inhabit. Sometimes the earth is so overwhelmingly beautiful that I just have to join in its song; sometimes the harm we’re doing, the harm I’m doing, to the earth is so sad that I just have to lament.

Sheet music for “Compassion’s Sting” is now available in the Free Stuff area.

Please leave a comment below: are you celebrating the earth’s beauty today, or lamenting its abuse, or some combination of both?

Best blessings,

Adam
