It is morning; it is spring. And in the dew, the mountains woo. 

Distantly heard, the roosters crow; and past the shoreline, the winds do blow.

There are moments where you will find

No past

Or present

Or future.

Only eternity;

An instant that stretches on, and on

And you will recognize Time in all its power

Because it will gladly reveal

Breathe, and let go.

Another week, you got this. Keep it up. You can do it.

It will be a great day. You will be great.

Breathe, and let go.

Ok, I got this. Let’s do it. We can do it.

Breathe, and let go.
