Spine Poetry

The searching spirit,

the audacity of hope:

fire in the soul,
 race against time
for the benefit of all beings.

Reason for hope:
spiritual ecology,

a return to love.

Paths to peace:

being peace.

Peace is every step.

An open heart:

compassion in action.

I give you my life:

how can I help?
