Life is good. Goodness is its character;
all else is defamation.
The Earth is good. Goodness is its nature.

Nature is good. Goodness is its essence.

People are also good. Goodness is our offering;
our predictable yet unfathomable flowering.

Thankful and encouraged
Infused with our peaceful inheritance
May we not despair.
