EACH BREATH, NEW PATTERNS
Life within me
Life around
Teach me now the force of growth
Wisdom of love
Intelligence of being
Let me find my self-respect in the
Service of liberation
Let my inner life be proved in the strength of silent action
As each breath creates new patterns
Give me rhythm to embrace unfoldment
May I know beauty in every difference
Welcome change in every crisis
And give compassion to every cry
Consciousness joins all in life
Earth to cosmos
Soil to stardust
Human to divinity
Let love flame within
Freedom is with all
I wrote this poem/prayer when I was 30
