With serenity and patience let us observe the breath
In this very moment experiencing birth and death
From every ending springs forth a new beginning
Arising and passing, the sphere eternally spinning
Just as a caterpillar knows that it must enter the cocoon
And a newborn child knows that it must exit the womb
We too must leave behind all that we have come to know
Like blossoming flowers, this is the season for us to grow
In these times of rebirth we must joyously sing
For we have been blessed and life has granted us wings
In order that we may ascend to forever greater heights
Like the beautiful butterfly upon receiving the gift of flight
It is said that for the raindrop, joy is entering the river
The day will come when all waters are delivered
And they join together in the ocean of liberation
This day is here let us practice meditation.
