Treasury of CelebrationsWood Lake Publishing Inc., 1996 - 288 sider Celebrations belong to people. They are not natural resources to be strip-mined each year for profit ... This book is for those who are searching for more than the models of celebration offered by a consumer society. It is about joy, spontaneity, caring, justice, and concern for nature. It draws on the experiences of people with widely varying backgrounds and perspectives, whose celebrations give voice to their ideals. If you are not satisfied with consumer-oriented celebrations, this book of creative ideas is for you. It contains suggestions for weddings, birthdays, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, funerals, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, Purim, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, graduations, and other holidays and rites of passage.

Side 14 - I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Side 16 - This we know. The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
Side 239 - Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they...
Side 15 - How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people.
Side 17 - We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Preserve the land for all children and love it, as God loves us all.
Side 16 - All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Side 15 - The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath — the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath.
Side 15 - So, when the Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land, he asks much of us.
Side 15 - We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The Earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on... He...
Side 262 - DEARLY beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony...
