I take a slow, deep breath, and my life changes.

Such a strong feeling, to make my heart, bigger, my mind smaller-

Maybe not smaller, maybe less important is a better way to put it.

It is a gift we already have, but we don’t know how it works,

What it means. I only know how to make mistakes.

That is my experience.

I forsake judgement and come to trust experience.

Experience tells me stillness connects me to my heart,

Acceptance dispels my self-importance, patience is the only when.

The noble truth, All desire is suffering.

Pleasure or virtue, righteousness or peace,

These things are not within my power.

If I am given a moment with them, let me be grateful,

But they are not mine to have.

How perfect the endless sky.
