Shining in Space —
The sun moves through space —
Shining for billions of years.
The sky contains the clouds —
The tracks of birds and wind.
The Earth is blessed with life —
A coat of blue and green.
We are of vast connections —
Unlimited and without measure.
When our mindful breath is clearly present
And our mindful steps are taken in pleasure —
Problems scatter like birds and butterflies
As we returned to our awakened nature.
Here is the ground of the inconceivable,
Here is the place without any labels.
Here is bright sunlight and gentle wind,
Here is great love and understanding.
