'and all is bathed in peace, softly, which the mind recognizes clearly, and the glory of existence is known.' Photo: by Amy Treasure on Unsplash
After hard times
Poem by Reg Naulty
Patience comes first in that dark night;
slowly, peace rises in the inward mind,
then all the world around
exhibits what there is, quiet and profound,
disclosing itself as an offering;
the soul appreciates what is offered.
