Peace for your Path...

"peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." (unknown) http://www.labyrinthwellness.com

"Hurt No Living Thing" by Christina Rossetti

"Hurt no living thing;
Ladybird, nor butterfly,
Nor moth with dusty wing,
Nor cricket chirping cheerily,
Nor grasshopper so light of leap,
Nor dancing gnat, nor beetle fat,
Nor harmless worms that creep."- Christina Rossetti

What a wonderful poem, Robin! I loved it, and look forward to sharing it a series we'll be running on respecting insects later in the year! Thanks so much for posting it ... Ben (Not One Sparrow)
