Relax...Let your teeth come apart a bit ... let your tongue come away from the roof of your mouth.

Breathe in deeply and let it out with a sigh.

Sit comfortably with an erect spine and your head level.  Let your gaze rest softly on the screen in front of you. Bring your attention to your breathe. Bring all your attention to the sensations at the edge of your nostrils.  If you notice yourself thinking simply say to yourself "thought" and come back to your breath.

Song of the Builders (Mary Oliver)

On a summer morning

I sat down

on a hillside

to think about God -

a worthy pastime.

Near me, I saw

a single cricket;

it was moving the grains of the hillside

this way and that way.

How great was its energy,

how humble its effort.

Let us hope

it will always be like this,

each of us going on

in our inexplicable ways

building the universe.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Cor 13)

I hear the ancient footsteps like

Sometimes I turn, there's someone there,

of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling,
like every grain of sand.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Morning Poem

Every morning

the world

is created. 

Under the orange 

sticks of the sun

the heaped

ashes of the night

turn into leaves again 

and fasten themselves to the high branches ---

and the ponds appear

like black cloth

on which are painted islands 

of summer lilies. 

If it is your nature

to be happy

you will swim away along the soft trails 

for hours, your imagination

alighting everywhere. 

And if your spirit

carries within it 

the thorn

that is heavier than lead ---

if it's all you can do

to keep on trudging --- 

there is still

somewhere deep within you

a beast shouting that the earth

is exactly what it wanted --- 

each pond with its blazing lilies

is a prayer heard and answered

lavishly, 

every morning, 

whether or not

you have ever dared to be happy, 

whether or not

you have ever dared to pray. 

from Dream Work (1986) by Mary Oliver
