Where are you going 
Where are you going
My friend?
Rushing your footsteps?
Stop.
There is no place to go.
Nowhere else but here.
Now.

The world is your temple.
Each being a gift,
Precious as a
Diamond.

Stop your rushing
Towards the grave.
Feel the naked earth
Under your bare feet.
Sing with birds in
The morning,
Call out the glory
Of a new day.
Open your eyes.
God is all around.
