today is a day to fly
to sing to the soaring hawks
to rise above the winds
to the place where the air is thin

today is the day to dance
to feel the rhythms within
to live on the edges of thought
in the place where reason drains

today is the day to live
to feel the blood flowing through
to taste the savoring wonder
in the place where sensations dwell

today is the day to be lean
alive in the quiet of peace
simply and wholly in grace
in the place where the mind is alone
