Happy Autumn! At Oceanseed Project we celebrate every change in season to acknowledge the spirit of renewal and awakening.
With each new season a heightened awareness, vitality and sense of presence are experienced by our volunteers, work-scholar interns and children participants. It is a wonderful time to reconnect with our inherent greatness, potential, community and natural world.
Within our programs autumn is a particularly wonderful season; we welcome new children from within our community into our ongoing, awe-inspiring, experiential programs of connection and enlightenment. Autumn provides its gentle touch by adding beautiful colors to our trees and a distinct cooling of our air—a freshness shared by all.
New and continuing, participant youth, university work scholars, academics and community members collaborate in enjoying connection with each other as part of our always-free powerful, programs—a unique, experiential interweaving of environmental and earth science, social and developmental psychology, humanities, civics and human potential.
This amazing poem we share with you today was written in the spring by a seven-year-old girl in her fourth month of Oceanseed Project program participation, within the Pajaro Valley Unified School District.
To Touch The Moon
I need to wait to find the key to time.
To reach the moon
Long years of time
Time is the key to the moon
A long wait
The moon is far
But
Time is farther
A long wait
I am a small green redwood
I can wait for time.
As we celebrate the magic, magnificence and grace of being present in this year’s autumn renewal, we welcome it’s transformative beauty as well as the many new community children participants who join our programs this season and the amazing inherent potential ever revealing itself in all of us.
It is through the generosity of friends and advocates like you that Oceanseed Project can continue its mission and provide our transformative programs for free to all participating children. Your participation and support are vital to sustaining Oceanseed Project’s mission and work towards creating our most verdant, compassionate and just world through awe-inspiring experience, education and mentorship that connects and cultivates our fullest potential, a mission that is more vital now than ever before.
