Everything moves in perfect rhythm

when we learn to breathe through life,

not too fast,

not too slow,

just a flow

that carries us peacefully through the day.

Tuned to the breath,

deep in, deep out,

we know when to step it up,

and when to wipe the calendar clean.

The world moves spinningly fast

and sometimes glacially slow,

find the rhythm that suits you best,

for health, for joy, for peace.

Listen not to the clock of others,

find your own balanced pace,

and stay firmly in the gentle grounded space

between heaven and earth.
