Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear,
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye
clear. What we need is here.
Childhood is the foundation stone upon which stands the whole life structure.The seed sown in childhood blossoms into the tree of life.
Those who have the humility of a child may find again the key to reverence for, and kinship with, all of life.
