We live on a vibrant, brilliantly biodiverse planet, and we know that this life is sacred and in need of protection more than ever. This service will honor the biodiversity of Central Texas through stories, music, and reflections. Biodiversity Sunday is a new UU cultural practice being introduced by the UU Ministry for Earth, on the Sunday closest to Endangered Species Day (May 21) and World Biodiversity Day (May 22).   Gathering Music - https://youtu.be/sO2o98Zpzg8; GRATEFUL: A Love Song to the World by Empty Hands Music -  nimo feat & daniel nahmod Prelude - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BjU391WQ1U; Hummingbird - The Gothard Sisters  Opening song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyb8_m2KR-s; Plantasia (Story of Flowers)  by Mort Garson Time for All Ages - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6xvK-I4HOg; Reverend Dr Lora Kim Joyner and esteemed special guests Offertory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q69CjKN-I7Y; Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center spring flowers footage with calming music  Joys and Concerns - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjCzPp-MK48; Time-Lapse: Watch Flowers Bloom Before Your Eyes | Short Film Showcase Closing Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYK70p7nzb8; We All Come from the Goddess / Hoof and Horn  Closing Words - https://www.splitthisrock.org/poetry-database/poem/invocation; “Invocation” by Everette Hoagland -  Postlude - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AmqYcWjBmc; Planting Seeds: A Song of Life by Empty Hands Music, nimo feat & daniel nahmod
