It is the Earth our green planet

Treading the path that leads to the moon,
I look back and can’t stop marveling.
I see a bubble of water on the immense ocean of space.
It is the Earth, our green planet,
Her sumptuous beauty sparkling and proud,
Yet oh so fragile.
In her I discover myself.
Brothers and sisters,
The beautiful Earth is us.
I embrace her and hold her tenderly against my chest.
Breathing together in the same rhythm
We restore our calm, our peace.
Let us accept ourselves
So we may accept one another.
Let us share the vision and make it possible
For Great Love to arise. - Thich Nhat Hanh
