"A secret turning in us
makes the universe turn.
Head unaware of feet,
and feet head. Neither cares.
They keep turning."
- Rumi

 

On this 22nd day of April,

let us turn our eyes inwards and know that,

as we feel there is a soul within ourselves,

so too must there be a soul within this world.

 

We do not stand alone;

indeed, we do not stand at all:

we spin at a thousand miles an hour.

 

We spin alongside each other and every other being on Earth;

with every breath, with every step, with every turn of the eye or the mind,

we affect our world.

 

What can we do that is not bound to how another lives?

Not even this, which is nothing more than words,

can be unwoven from time.

 

There is breath within your lungs that once passed over

the lips of your ancestors;

their dying breath brings you life.

 

On this day, Earth Day, I wish you peace and joy.
