Grass is green.

We all do know that.

But sometimes it is greener

and in some places it is the greenest.

Or so does it appear?

Is it for real?

Or is it just an illusion?

Why do we always seek out

the greenest of pastures

when there’s a rich green pasture -

right in our backyard?

When there’s perfect attuning

of our heart, spirit and mind,

green grass all around our own feet

is what we invariably find.

So let’s take pride in whoever we are

and let’s find joy in whatever we do -

for the grass undeniably is the greenest

all around our own feet all the time.
