“My heart is hopelessly in love
with everything.
It is singing
like a song bird at dawn,
singing to the hearts
in everything,
everything grazing
on the hillsides
and in the meadows,
everything swimming
in the ocean
and the mountain stream.
My heart is singing
to the hearts in everything,
the trees yearning for the sun,
the chalices of hibiscus
filled with the nectar of love,
the honey bees
and the hummingbirds
thirsting for the nectar of love.
There is thirsting
and yearning
and singing
in the hearts of everything
and when this thirsting
and yearning
and singing
is overflowing,
there is dancing,
dancing in the hearts of everything.”
