I found this poem in an old Yoga Journal magazine and was drawn to the nature analogy. It seemed so applicable to today’s world on so many levels. Click on the author link below to read the fascinating biography of this life long adventurer.
RAINFOREST POEM
What if?“What if religion was each other?
If our practice was our life?
If prayer was our words?
What if the temple was the Earth?
If forests were our church?
If holy water—the rivers, lakes, and oceans?
What if meditation was our relationships?
If the Teacher was life?
If wisdom was self-knowledge?
If love was the center of our being.”
