What if religion was each other?
If our practice was our life?
If prayer was our words?
What if the temple was the Earth?
If forests were our church?
If holy water - the rivers, lakes, and oceans?
What if meditation was our relationships?
If the Teacher was life?
If wisdom was self-knowledge?
If love was the center of our being.

Dear Cate, thank you. Hope you are feeling better. Tornado in my area in the middle of the night
no electricity and screens blown out of screen porch - but all is well.
What if? It would be a lot more peaceful in our world.
Beautiful. I sent this along to some friends and family. Very meaningful right now.
