We know what we should be doing with our lives:
meeting the world’s deep hunger with our own,

as we nourish the soul, with all its tribulations
and desires, and stand like a rock on principles.

When we get off the hurtling merry-go-round,
we discover the everyday rhythms of living:

remembering how to breathe, to integrate body
and spirit, to sing the songs we have forgotten. 

Don’t wait for storms to pass; go out and dance
in the fierce light of your precious spirituality.
