With your mindful breathing,
practice touching the Earth deeply.
Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet,
as if you are massaging the Earth with each step.
Your footprints
will be marks of an emperor’s seal
calling for Now to come back Here,
so that life will be present,
so that your blood will bring the colour of love to your face,
so that the wonders of life will appear,
and all the anxieties will be transformed into
peace and joy.
