Peace is Every Step

Peace is every step
The shining red sun is my heart
Each flower smiles at me
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step
It turns the endless path to joy.

Thich Nhat Hanh

(From the Yogi Tea Box)

Oh mortal one.
Think of the goodness
of the all-pervading God,
Who from mere nothingness
brought you forth in all your beauty!

How he kept you safe
in the fire of the womb
and gave you
mother's milk to drink

In the bloom of youth He gave you
delightful foods and comfort,
And the senses to enjoy them

Oh friend, it is by His Grace that you
are cared for throughout your life.
