though certain events press us to be frantic

and the marketplace is busy with worry

remember this is always so

and likewise there is always an antidote at hand

let the winter season that rests the field rest your mind

since you must walk with care, pay even closer attention

each step its own journey, a remarkable gift

stop for a moment, let your eyes gaze with new sight

open your ears to hear without immediate judgement

feel how you occupy that particular space

you might find the fence post or street corner

changed because you changed

in such small ways do we transform the world

peace by peace by peace
