Begin with your BODYHow does it feelDoes it need movementA nap or a meal Or does it feel restedNourished and fitPrepared for the actionsTo which you’ll commit

Move on to your MINDWhat is its stateIs it filled up with worriesAnd wishes and hates Or does it feel emptySteady and clearReady to welcomeWhatever appears

Now to your HOMEDo you love where you liveIs it asking for somethingIt needs you to give Or does it feel cheerfulCozy and cleanProviding a shelterFor tending your dreams

Then to the variousPeople you LOVEDo you fully accept themAs more than enough Do you meet them with honestyJoy and respectDo you speak from the heartEvery time you connect

Then to the WORKThat you do every dayDo you come to it gladlyAs if it were play Do you put into practiceYour personal giftsCreating improvementsAnd positive shifts

Then to the HELPThat you give and receiveEnlivening wishesAnd answering needs Nurturing peopleAnd projects and placeSupporting the healthOf our planet in space

Then to this curious WORLDThat we shareWith its structures and systemsAnd circles of care Each of us playingOur own little partFinding our medicineMessages, art

For what is this WORLDBut a series of livesReflecting each otherWith myriad eyes Each with their lensesAnd visions and viewsEach with the feelingOf needing to choose

And what is this WORLDBut a story we tellA dream with no endAn alarm with no bell To wake from the storyAnd see it as suchTo swim in the dreamAnd savor the touch

These CIRCLES OF CAREAn invisible mapTo help us awakenEmbody, adapt To the story of lifeThat we choose to createAnd the WORLD that emergesTo which we relate

From BODY to MINDTo HOME and to LOVETo WORK and to HELPBelow as above These are the scalesOf the story of youThis is the WORLDThat you call into view

For you’re in the WORLDAnd the WORLD is in you You make itIt makes youIt’s ancientIt’s new

So what feels aliveMost fertile and true? What are you sensingAnd what will you do
