Thank you

Thank you for giving me eyes to see.
Eyes that see more than before.
Thank you for giving me ears to hear.
Ears that hear more than before.

You make me see and hear things
in a way that I could not have imagined.
You make me see and hear the world
with your eyes and your ears.

You make me see the world differently.
Not the world as presented by the media.
The media that are largely at the service
of commerce, sensation and entertainment.

You make me see and hear the things
that really matter most in our lives.
You make me see the beauty of simplicity.
Beauty that comes from within.
Not the beauty adored by the media
and by the people blinded by the media.

You make me hear the sounds of Peace.
Sounds that tranquillize the heart of people
and that make them feel enlightened.
Sounds that express human warmth
that is essential to us all wherever.

Thank you so much, Peace, for teaching me
how to see, hear and feel the world
as you would want us to build it.
Please make all the people wherever
see, hear and feel it in the same way.
