Meditation
I feel my body become the earth,
The richness of the rock.
From my scant depth of dark topsoil
Spring the fruits for all.
But rock am I
As well as soil,
And at my center flows
The fire of molten mystery
That was kindled long ago.
What consciousness
Began that fire
Bringing me to now?
The Blessing
The table in my house is full
And I have much to share.
As I gather in the fruits of my labors,
As I work
With the talents that I have,
I see
That it is in the gathering
That fulfillment lies .
It is in the labor of right livelihood
That I find greater joy
Than in the security
Of an overflowing cupboard.
