May You Look Where You Can't See

May you never lose awe and youthful wonder.
May mistakes become insights and not blunders.
May your success bring benefits to many others.
May grace be with you, blessings with one another.
May you change your mind again and over and over.
May your answers be found in truth, not mindless fervor.
May you search high, far and wide and then discover,
May what you love be also your true lover.
May respect and love become one with forgiveness.
May anger dissolve, never sustain bitterness.
May passion be guided by caring and thoughtfulness.
May hope and faith show you the way of goodness.
May family heal the pains of alienation.
May solace banish all feelings of desperation.
May a life well lived be a source of inspiration.
May introspection lead to liberation.
May your home be in a house full of contentment.
May your lifestyle be at peace with the environment.
May your life's child find meaningful development.
May your death unfold the passage to fulfillment.

Now Look Where There's No Me

What you mean to yourself defines your truths, your borders.
What others mean challenges your space, your order.
Our whole life long we are like blocks without mortar.
Longing for union but waiting until what's sure is surer.
What's transparent between life's lives few ever see.
Meaning for most is bound by what they can be.
A leap of faith heeds the call to affirm one's creed.
That meaning is much greater than you and me.

So, take the leap, smile inward where all can see!
