I am a part of the things around me
And each living thing is a part of me
The sun my blanket, my health
The moon my beauty
Each plant to heal; enrich; grow
Small beings
Large beings
To create life; permit death
To enlighten; brighten each day with their unique oneness
The world is my cradle
I will allow it to mold my being
