Peace Is Every Step
Peace is every step.The shining red sun is my heart.Each flower smiles with me.How green, how fresh all that grows.How cool the wind blows. Peace is every step. It turns the endless path to joy.

God is the friend of silence. We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. See how nature — trees, flowers, grass — grows in silence; see the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence.
