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.
