Silence the ceaseless inner voice, that
Interrupts, that cleaves your peace.
Learn to sift the discord. Then, as
Each stray thought arises – breathe.
Not struggling – just let it slide away,
Turn the churned up mind to calm.

Listen to the whisper of your breath
Inside this well of time. Now from that
Still, deep reservoir of quiet,
Turn towards His light. Rest there
Enfolded. Merge with every moment –
Nothing lingers to distract. Just be.
