Living With Intention

Living With Intention

Oh Life!
You bring us pleasures and sorrows
What lays beneath your bumpy surface?
Joys and sufferings interwoven
From birth to death.

May we discover a path that
Freely holds our moments
Gently cradled in our palms
Let’s release life’s experiences
With insight
View the dust that settles into a reflection of passing time.

Renounce all hope that
Life will satisfy our deepest longings
Find a happiness not wrapped up
In life’s passing pleasures.
Enjoy breaths of freedom
Transform life’s fleeting dramas
Watch how they enter and exit beyond our control.

Spread wide our fingers
As we shape our minds
Precious thought by thought
Porous with our intentions
We infuse each moment.
Hold a view of truth not bordered by life’s ups and downs.

We are the doers
Our lives our displays.

Walk through today spreading a loving friendliness towards all beings
Cherish an inner smile of delight.
Cast a heartfelt wish
Ease one another’s suffering.

Tap into a wellspring of abiding happiness.
Abide in an intimacy fresh with our daily intentions.
