You have a mission of green
on a thirsty planet.
Don't become a cynic.
Your task is the grace
of a fallen raindrop,
an opening bud,
a thrush at dawn.
Be a fragrance in the breeze.
Don't waste time becoming anyone
but a Lover.
Do beauty with your hands.
Breathe peace.
Give people hope
by insisting that this moment
is enough.
These are simple words, friend,
but they were born of many tears.
Water color by my friend, Marney Ward, who illustrated the cover of my new book.
