Peace Rising

Sunrise at the corner of Spring Road.

Risen!…The greatest day in history, the miracle of a new day, the moon shining at my back, songbirds and crows singing praise, the stillness, the smell of sweet earth, a view of the Wapack that takes your breath away. The ancient Celtic believers must have known a morning like this…

“Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you;

Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;

Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you;

Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you;

Deep peace of the flowing air to you;

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you;

Deep peace of the shining stars to you…

Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.”
