Just let me have
each day be as this one,
a practice within the art of perfection,
nothing essayed but that which arises
in service to the love and hope
that signal life

And let my practice
come to full fruition
so the truth I know
is seen, and celebrates
what holds us all in presence,
what brings up our desire and sense of purpose
and satisfies them.
