This week's prompt from Theme Thursday is "mystery":
We are surrounded daily
by the blessings of the great mystery.
We are part of that mystery.
We are connected to all that is.
With all our relations, we bring our gifts
to the sweet face of mother earth. Earth needs us.
We are gifted, clever, we have enough.
When we slow down, get in touch,
listen to that inner voice,
we re-dream our lives, heal, energize,
find new visions.
When we show up, pay attention,
we find our deep roots, discover mystery:
Our heart is dear and connected to all that is,
all beings of all species for all time.
"I, I am the sacred words of earth. It is lovely indeed, it is lovely indeed." (Navajo poem)

Wonderful poem. I like the Mark Twain quote in your header, as well.
