You don't need to do anything,.
 Eyes opened or closed,
 Just come here and be yourself.
 Your troubles will disappear,
 Then you can feel mother earth's
   warm touch,
 From ancient trees, deep lakes, 
   murmuring streams, green mountains
   oceans and especially from the 
   fresh air.
 Yes, here is found a cleanser for
   the soul.
