In the forest
I gently step
My eyes in wonder
of the life there
The gentle sun
shines on the floor
growing little
glowing orbs
The quiet wind
dances through the trees
filling the air
with the rustlings of leaves
Behind the mighty giants
I catch a shadow of a deer
or perhaps it was a creature
from the tails we hold dear
The air is restful
full of contended peace
a place where men
may quietly sleep
Yet life is there
in the smallest of leaves
As long as the sun shines
nature may do as it please
In the forest
life's in the air
and if there is beauty
I am sure it is there

Every place in the world has his beauty and peace…
Very nice!

“The Master gave his teachings in parables and stories, which his disciples listened to with pleasure—and occasional frustration, for they longed for something deeper.
The Master was unmoved. To all their objections he would say, “You have yet to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between a human being and Truth is a story.”
Another time he said, “Do not despise the story. A lost gold coin is found by means of a penny candle; the deepest truth is found by means of a simple story.”
