Nature's Truth and Wisdom --
Heart's Life --
Our Nature is Truth and Freedom --
Infinite Life in Nature and Love --
Wisdom and Freedom in Rain and God.

'I am in the leaves
of the one who believes.'
My feet are on the earth
ever since my birth;
I grow century by yearly-
to ever see more clearly.
I pick off the high branches
to improve tree life's chances,
My only tools
are my feet and hands;
I am one with fools
and one with the Pure Lands.
No love in persuasion games-
Those lost objects' true names:
I am home -- infinitely free --
At rest with those who see:
Shelter of breath within the breath --
Forever safe, my Lord sayeth:
What have I become?
Kind heart -- all welcome.
I am one with the winter snows
and the life which forever grows.
My Lord asks all to come --
Infinite heart is the true home.
My Lord asks all, "Set Free"
And wherever you may be --
Out from the sun's hot swelter,
Infinite love will be your shelter.
Nothing is strife
But infinite life,
When seen from above
With the arc of love.
My Lord is infinite,
Knows no "this" law or "that"
Only pure sentiment;
With the grace of a cat.
Climb the highest mountains --
Seek the purest fountains --
Walk in peace on this earth,
Knowing full life is worth
Greatest joy since one's birth.
Soar like eagle in sky --
For you to falter
Would be like spirit to halter
Or young man to die;
Yet in this place
Flows free, infinite grace,
Mind not any past failure;
Today is your full year.
Climb to higher mountain peaks
Then when your voice speaks,
All who hear will know gladness --
Never again seeking sadness.
Live for heaven, see her beauty,
This is the only duty.
The highest height, perfect balance --
It's worth it, take the chance.
If you travel without care,
All the angels will guide you there.
Live for beauty, seek for truth:
It may only be seen in youth,
Remember, when pure love is sung,
We are made whole; we are made young.
The highest vision, beauteously,
Was gifted to me generously;
But I am nothing if not love,
So all that I have seen above
I pass along, that all may know
Infinite life, the squirrel may show.
Don't pay for things dearly --
Only learn to see clearly,
Trust the one who has gotten peace --
Infinite, boundless, and release.
'Persuade never,
Live in peace, forever.'

A little squirrel appeared to me;
Made all my vision clear, for free.
He went forty feet on,
And twenty feet higher
In what seemed --
The blink of an eye --
For he is wise,
And with his eyes
Seemed to say to me,
'You know, you are in a dead tree,'
With real concern --
How well I learn! --
How well he knows --
I am safe. It shows.
I don't mean to be alarming,
But if you think one is charming,
It's better to do without,
Of this, have no doubt.

The squirrel is with me,
The birds sound so free --
No one is above them;
Oh Jove, how I love them!

And then I took
A second look --
Is this a dead tree?
Only the lower branches, I see.
