BUDDHA LAND

 

Walks Far Woman

Plant your bare feet upon the earth

and take one step,

peaceful, smiling,

your roots sending tentacles

into the earth.

Find stability, and balance,

knowing your every step,

your every breath,

connects you to the All-That-Is,

as above, so below.

Remember the wholeness

with which you began

this journey.

Shape your brokenness

into a sturdy vessel

once again,

for all will be well,

all will be well,

all will be exceedingly well.

Feel the wind and the warm summer rain

on your face,

hear the birdsong in your heart.

Earth and sky,

wind and water,

all belong

to you.

Experience the peace of this one step,

this single moment.

Then, take another,

each step a gift received,

each moment an opportunity

to give.

Walk with joy upon the earth,

pilgrims of a planetary miracle.

It is all

a gift from God,

this world we walk through.

It is all Buddha Land.
