The Daily Boost #340
Let's rise together
On this Veterans Day in the US, I offer this to all whose lives have been touched by war and rumors of war, especially those persons who have served in uniform. May you rise. May you be healed. May you be at peace.
Here are the lyrics:
And when I rise, let me rise
Like a bird, joyfully.
And when I fall, let me fall
Like a leaf, gracefully, without regrets.
And when I stand, let me stand
Like a tree, rootedly.
And when I walk, let me walk
Like a lion, regally, strong and free.
Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand-new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment
And to look on all beings with compassion.
And when I wake, let me wake
Like sunrise, radiantly.
And when I rest, let me rest
Like sunset, contentedly, without worries.
And when I cry, let me cry
Like the rain, cleansingly, with all my heart.
And when I dream, let me dream
Like a cloud, vividly, in my true home.
