Sowing limits what we harvest;

Giving shapes what we receive;

Words send out our hurts and loving

And define what we achieve.

 

Flesh and blood reflect our thinking;

Hatred eats our health away.

Every thought, disturbed or tranquil,

Shapes the way we live and pray.

 

Let us seek to find and treasure

Every law the Cosmos holds

And embrace the mystery’s wisdom

As each stage of life unfolds.
