She says:
All the world's water is sacred
because it is the beginning of all life
The Hindu have their Ganges
and Christians the baptismal font
but as I watch this child drink tap water
from a metal bowl
holding it with both hands
in the strong eastern morning light
I see it so clearly,
as arising from the same source
Shanti Shanti Shanti
Amen Hallelujah
