“First
I thank the Source
of all life
for this life’s meaning
then I can begin
first
I create the space
in which to grow
into new dimensions
then I can move there
first
I envision the garden
full of rainbows
and scents of nectar
then I can plant them
first
I touch my heartstring
and feel its resonance
with the harmonics of all beings
then I can share love
first
I hear the bird sing
filling the garden
with melodies beyond my ears
then I can appreciate life’s music
first
I taste the morning light
with which to create
food for my soul
then I can cook”
