To touch the plants and earth, feel rain, and enjoy the sky and everything is a luxury for peace of mind. Not meditation, but relaxation!

MY PERSONAL ZEN

The feeling of the wet leaves,

     Touching sod so rich and warm,

Raindrops falling on my forehead,

    Does me good and does no harm;

To indulge my passion for life,

     Thrusting hands into a garden’s birth,

Or a stack of leaves to rake,

     Piling up mounds of lush earth;

In touch with world so wonderful!

     A freedom to feel and dig in,

Repose, tranquility, and peace of mind,

     Feeling nature is my personal zen.
