I See You

I See You Swirling Thru

The Trees.

Devour Me

As You Do

The Leaves.

So I Can Be

The Sound Of Nature’s Energy.

The Touch Of Nature’s Unity.

The Sight Of Nature’s Face.

Dancing In Your Embrace

With No Trace Of Distaste.

The Product Of Your Divine Grace.

Francis Of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is error, the truth;

Where there is doubt, the faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
