Another day, and I am faced with emptiness.

Always hoping for inspiration, but now I am coming to see-

My day should begin with emptiness.

The day is new and so am I.

I can see things with a new understanding, and a new appreciation.

Yesterdays rain is todays blessing.

Today when chaos and reaction arrive, let me remember-

The calming presence of the natural world.

Although I will always carry myself and my past,

I can meet this day a little lighter,

A little less encumbered by past struggles.

Having learned less is more, and reduction is progress-

Let me leave behind my need to prove myself, my need to accomplish.

Believing in the next step, being at peace with whatever the moment brings.
