And you — what of your rushed and
useful life? Imagine setting it all down —
papers, plans, appointments, everything,
leaving only a note: "Gone to the fields
to be lovely. Be back when I'm through
with blooming".
~ Lynn Ungar, "Camas Lilies" in BREAD AND OTHER MIRACLES

Close your eyes and you will see clearly Cease to listen and you will hear truth Be silent and your heart will sing Seek no contact and you will find union Be still and you will move forward on the tide of spirit. Be gentle and you will need no strength Be patient and you will achieve all things Be humble and you will remain entire.
