I Heard

I heard the voice of the trees.
Stand tall and trust the world around you.
Be generous, and know when to bend.

I heard the voice of the sky.
Open your heart. Tear down the walls and boundaries,
and let yourself soar.

I heard the voice of the grass.
Be humble. Be simple.
Listen closely to the beauty of small things.

When the mind feels restless, I pause and take a quiet walk.
Nature speaks in countless ways, if only we listen.
Resting under the wide blue sky, paying attention to the tiny blades of grass beneath my feet,
my heart suddenly feels light as a feather.
A fresh energy fills me.
