Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Joyous Celebration

“For the beauty of the Earth;
For the glory of the sky;

Worm began glowing again.... “Truly the Mystery makes sense: that all Mystery's Creations are sacred and have their allotted place on this journey. Francis, we are grateful for you and your Brotherhood.”

Francis did an exaggerated pirouette, laughing heartily as he ended his spin in a heap on the grass. Suddenly he began shouting with joy, “All Praise to Mystery!!!”
