The Children’s Retreat

By Alice Nguyen

The retreat felt like a peaceful wind, as a breeze going through my hair. It helped me be calm and let me sing my favorite song, “I Like the Roses.” I liked the part where me, Emily, Gabriel, and Lennis sang to a Sangha. I did drawings and poems with Emily and Lennis.

At the River

Frogs croaking.

Birds singing.

Wind whistling in the leaves.
