Peace|صلح

228th story

From a friend;

I wish I could get a broom in my hands, a bucket of water, a duster, a dustpan, and clean the earth from the North to the South.

Wash the windows of the earth from the East to the West.

Freshen the rivers, dredge the lakes, and shake the deserts.

Tidy the mountains, put flowers on the shelves of the rocks.

Water all the fields, forests, gardens, and prune the dry branches.

I wish to sew cloudy dresses for the sky, braid the wheat fields, and milk all the cows of the world.

Bake some fresh bread, set a clean table, and fill it with fresh and delicious simplicity.

And invite all the people of the world to a cup of peace, and a bite of happiness.

Fill their hearts with love, hope and high spirits.

And anywhere I see cruelty and war, clean it with brightness of love.

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.

    Our ‘leaders’ have a different roadmap, I assume.
