A Poem for Earth Day

Sometimes poetry says it best.


"Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
When we feel safe in ourselves."

That is by Thich Nhat Hahn, in The Long Road Turns to Joy: A Guide to Walking Meditation, who also says,

"Touch the ground of the present moment deeply and you will touch real peace and joy."
