The Breath of Nature

…I hear the breath of nature;

Mother Earth inhaling and exhaling her love

For all life;

Her wind whispering in my ear.

Attuned to the echo of the Universe,

Its rhythmic hum pulsating through my being,

I too become one with its vibration,

I am still

I feel the peace of heaven on this earth

I see that we are all one with another

All intertwined in the fabric of life.
On this slope, amongst the junipers and pines,I know God.
