After a time of turbulence My soul feels at peace I stand in the shade, My walking stick resting against a sturdy tree, And reflect on the simplicity of happiness. Today it began for me With a water lily in bloom Its white petals so like a lotus Then I saw a rhododendron blossom Way past its season. As I did my hike my cares drifted away I need not pursue all those trips and projects Freedom is at hand Why have I sought escape?
