Sit in stillness

and know that I Am love.

An empty mind

flows like a river

to the shores of peace.

Work steadily

with gratitude for the moving body.

When pondering existence,

know that movement and stillness

are the balance sought.

Movement supports stillness

and stillness supports movement,

back and forth and all around,

like the seasons,

like the tides,

like the night and day,

follow the rhythms of this,

this marvelous pattern of life and blooming and decaying and death.

Be as a flower that wilts with quiet joy,

be as a seed that waits with patient wonder.
