"Break into the peace within, hold attention in stillness,
And in the world outside.
You will ably master the ten thousand things.
All things rise and flourish,
then go back to their roots."  Lao Tzu


In all the heavens, in all the skies
under each cloud, everything comes home.
I pray to reach as far as I can reach in this life,
to give up holding on, to keep things close yet let them go.
To flourish as I live,
and then go back to my roots.
I pray your way is kind and swift,
loving and sweet,
and that your way and mine come together
in all the heavens and all the skies.
Amen.
