We Are All Children Of The Mother Earth

Silence

A day of Silence

Can be a pilgrimage in itself.

A day of Silence

Can help you listen

To the Soul play

It's marvelous lute and drum.

Is not most talking

A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?

I thought we came here

To surrender in Silence,

To yield to Light and Happiness,

To Dance within

In celebration of Love's Victory!

("I Heard God Laughing" -- versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky
