The mystery of life is reflected
in a cats eye.
look deep, let your mind
become blank.
Seek the thoughts of the cat,
if you are its friend it will reveal
the mystery for you.
The mystery of life is reflected
in the flight of the deer.
If you are quiet and still
it will show you its quickness,
watch its gracefulness as it leaps
across a green field
the smell of spring all around.
The mystery of life is reflected
in the flight of birds.
They soar on the currents of
our imagination.
Watch them and imagine being one.
Your heart becomes light and carefree,
A complete oneness with nature.
The mystery of life is reflected
deep in our hearts.
If you search for it you will find it.
It is the joy we feel in the birth
of a child.
The pain we feel at the loss of
a loved one.
The mystery of life is reflected
in everything around us.
If we slow down we can see it.
To see it takes compassion and
understanding of others.
Open your mind and soul
and see the mystery of life reflected.
