Earth teach me stillness as the grasses are stilled with the light
Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory
Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning
Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young
Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands alone
Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground
Earth teach me resignation as the leaves die in the fall
Earth teach me regeneration as the seeds rises in the spring
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life
Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep in the rain
Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory
Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning
Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young
Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands alone
Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground
Earth teach me resignation as the leaves die in the fall
Earth teach me regeneration as the seeds rises in the spring
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life
Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep in the rain
