Lessons in the mountain


The mountain in the distance 
Speaks its eternal truths, 
Reminding us of the power of presence. 
Lift your eyes and know the value 
Of silence and simplicity; 
Of true friends, of family and community; 
Of your own gifts and contribution, 
However under-rewarded they may be. 
Like the mountain, we are created, we are loved, 
And we’re connected to the earth and one another 
In ways we’re only beginning to understand. 
Look upon the mountain, and know peace.
