Do not walk proudly on the earth
A meditation by Cliff Reed on a verse from the Koran, sura 17 |
. 'Do not walk proudly on
the earth...' Remember that we are her children, born of her forests, plains and seas. |
'Do not walk proudly on the earth...' Remember that her rivers give us life, flowing from white mountains and green hills to water our fields and our cities. |
'Do not walk proudly on the earth...' Remember her people, our sisters and brothers in humanity, yearning for peace and plenty, life and liberty. |
'Do not walk proudly on the earth...' May our step be modest, walking with those who cherish the earth, protecting her from desecration and her people from tyranny. |
May there be balance and harmony on the earth, and may we not walk proudly upon her. |
