ST5: "Nada te turbe" por Santa Teresa de Avila

This is a classic poem by Saint Teresa of Avila.  I find it consoling in times of unrest and confusion of all forms.  It is best read with a café con leche in the beautiful city of Avila in Spain, but holds a similar effect in any safe space for poetry and reflection.

"Nada te turbe..."

Nada te turbe,
nada te espante,
todo se pasa,
Dios no se muda.
La paciencia
todo lo alcanza,
quien a Dios tiene
nada le falta:
solo Dios basta.
