Our Spiritual Grace

Text without context

Are words without soul

Man without nature

Won’t exist in this world


Life without relationships 

Are shoes without soles

We’re all interrelated 

By the soil of the earth


Spirit of forest

The air that we breathe

Clean flowing water

Every living thing needs


Flowers exude aromas

Smiles must have face

It’s the unseen intentions 

Our spiritual grace

Beautifully done Arturo. The Native American people believe all life is enter woven. It's a circle. One can't live without the other. Love this. God Bless, JB

If we were taught to love the earth...we would never pollute it...we would be hurting ourselves...

You are right, all living things are designed to thrive on earth 'together'. It's a perfect balance...when it is in balance. Nicely penned!

Arturo, that video made me so sad. But it is true that greed and ignorance are destroying this world, there is no compassion for the innocent creatures or nature and your words are powerful....

Wow!! The video matches your thoughts perfectly my friend. This is exactly how Mankind acts and then reacts. (Most anyway, not all) We exist because of God! This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy

So beautifully written, Arturo! I love the way you compare life with relationships to shoes without soles. The soles protect our feet, just as people in our lives help protect us. You have a gentle, kind soul, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn
