A reading of readings and songs on the theme of nature. Poems, stories, songs and reflections that invite us to take care of nature, of Mother Earth, of trees. The tree, with its roots in the ground and its head towards the sky, is the image that recurs in almost all the texts and accompanies us through a cheerful, ironic, ecological, poetic journey.
Words that are engraved in the mind as poetry is engraved in the soul. From Pablo Neruda to Mariangela Gualtieri, from Italo Calvino to Pope Francis, this reading was born from the need to give voice to those who remind us that nature, the environment, our planet need attention, protection, love.
A “love song” to the Earth.
“I belong to the Earth. And like me all humanity, and every form of life. Plants and forests, fruits and flowers, and also rivers, mountains, animals of every species and everything that human work has shaped and transformed over time. St. Francis called her sister and mother, who governs us and gives us sustenance.” The words of Carlo Petrini, founder of Slow Food, are a guide for us for this musical reading which invites us to reflect and also to have fun.
