Silent Dialogue

In early summer of 2013, Sophie Boyer, a Buddhist nun, came to Earthfire Institute for a month long silent retreat. This poem is a result of what the animals taught her.

A Buddhist Blessing to the Wild Animals of Earthfire

We had the pleasure of a Buddhist nun residing here for a months silent retreat. During that time she discovered, by feel, our animal graveyard. She hadn't known anyone was buried there. Once she knew, she went there twice a week to sing to them. I asked if I could read a list of each animal buried there as she sang, so each of them would be individually recognized. She immediately agreed, saying it was really important to honor the spirits of those who have passed. This is a video of her beautiful singing.
