No Toiling, No Struggling

 




Into the stillness within my garden, I walk

A feeling of peace and tranquility abides here

Yet, within this peace, the fullness of activity in creation

No toiling, no struggling – just being

 

If I want, I can watch the grass grow

Microscopic as it moves centimeters

To my ears, it is silent, but growing has a sound

No toiling, no struggling – just being

 

Listening to the chirping of squirrels and birds

Observing their play and how they gather food

It is like watching a playground of activity

No toiling, no struggling – just being

 

I ponder this as I watch

All of nature is being who they are – nothing else

Each one has a job of sorts, a plan

No toiling, no struggling – just being

 

How rich would my life be

To daily walk out my tasks in peace

Living in my true identity and no one else’s

No toiling, no struggling – just being
