"When no one listens to the quiet trees
When no one notices the sun in the pool
Where no one feels the first drop of rain
Or sees the last star
Or hails the first morning
of a giant world
Where peace begins
One bird sits still
Watching the work of God..."

"I am under the sky.
The birds are all silent.
But the frogs have begun singing their pleasures in all the waters
and in the warm, green places where the sunshine is wonderful."

"My worship is a blue sky
and ten thousand crickets
in the deep wet hay in the field.
My vow is the silence
under their song."
