Island of the Self

by Plum VillageAugust 17, 2021

From the album "Basket of Plums".


Breathing in, I go back to the island within myself.

There are beautiful trees within the island,

There are clear streams of water, there are birds,

Sunshine and fresh air,

Breathing out I feel safe.

I enjoy going back to my island.


Words: Thich Nhat Hanh / Joseph Emet
