Stop.
Pull over and get off the road.
Look around and look within.
See the nature within,
And see the nature around,
Savaged by our careless ways,
Our relentless roads.
Stop and ask,
Where will this road take me?
Where will my heart take me?
(My heart that loves all that lives and grows,
That sees the beauty of the garden, of the flower, and my own.)
Stop and ask,
Which path should I follow?
