Part I:
Sit here for a bit. Place yourself outside the frenzied pace of life.
Slow down long enough to appreciate birds in flight, water drops
like prisms in the grass and countless shades of green.
Step off the fast track and listen to the sound of breath and birdsong.
Take a moment to just be, and in the being, know the whole of this creation,
mystery and madness, passion and profanity, know it all as one, stunning tapestry.
