In the May issue of the Flaming Rose Journal
as the Spring reaches its flourishing green culmination,
we glory in the New Creation of Life.
We affirm our commitment to the Sacred Pathway.
We continue on.
We continue on
in fulfillment of the Journey.
wherever the Heart and Spirit
lead
for the sake of Life
Harmony
Peace



 
 


Sacred Pathway


"With visible breath I am walking.
A voice I am sending as I walk.
In a sacred manner I am walking.
With visible tracks I am walking.
In a sacred manner I walk."

Black Elk

New Life Creation

the Pathway will unfold
following the Light of the Sun
the Heart will be opened
to the Light and Joy of Love

in a moment
of New Life Illumination
in a moment
of New Life Creation

the Pathway will unfold
where the mountain meets the sky
the Eyes will be opened
to the Wonder and Beauty of Life

in a moment
of New Life Inspiration
in a moment
of New Life Creation

the Pathway will unfold
within a whole living kingdom
the Mind will be opened
in Peace and Freedom

in a moment
of New Life Realization
in a moment
of New Life Creation

the Pathway will unfold
beyond the bounds of time
the world will be transcended
by the Spirit Divine

For the Sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the Sun crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the Sun
I will sing for the Light of Life
I will sing and travel onward
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the Earth crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the Earth
I will sing for the Tree of Life
I will sing and travel onward
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the River crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the River
I will sing for the Water of Life
I will sing and travel onwards
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the Wind crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the Wind
I will sing for the Breath of Life
I will sing and travel onward
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the Child crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the Child
I will sing for the Future of Life
I will sing and travel onward
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

the Journey continues forever onward
wherever the Spirit leads
I am a Pilgrim who hears the Stars crying
for a Voice in this time of need

and I will sing for the Stars
I will sing for the Whole Universe of Life
I will sing and travel onward
I will sing for the sake of Life
I will sing for the sake of Life

for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life

Peace in Every Step


for the Sake of the Children
we carry on
though the Way is hard and long
we carry on

walking hand in hand
peace in every step
walking hand in hand
peace in every step

for the Life of the Children
we carry on
though the Way is broken and divided
we carry on

walking hand in hand
peace in every step
walking hand in hand
peace in every step

for the Love of the Children
we carry on
though the Way is violent and hateful
we carry on

walking hand in hand
peace in every step
walking hand in hand
peace in every step

for the Future of the Children
we carry on
though the Way is dark and unknown
we carry on

walking hand in hand
peace in every step
walking hand in hand
peace in every step

for the Sake of the Children
for the Life of the Children
for the Love of the Children
for the Future of the Children

walking hand in hand
peace in every step
peace in every step
peace in every step
peace in every step

      ~

peace is every step
the shining red sun is in my heart
each flower smiles with me
how green, how fresh all that grows
how cool the wind blows
peace is every step
it turns the endless path to joy
breathing in, I am aware of my heart
breathing out, I smile at my heart

    Thich Nhat Hahn
