Where am I going to?

What am I walking toward?

I’m gonna breathe


into the flow, flow, flowing.

206. Breathe Easy 

by Karly Loveling


Breathe easy, let it all go.

Rest your body; trust your soul

to guide your way and keep you whole.

Breathe easy, let go.

65. Loving-Kindness

by Wendy Luella Perkins


loving-kindness to my body

loving-kindness to my mind

loving-kindness to each and every joy

and heartbreak of my time

loving-kindness to my spirit

loving-kindness to my soul

loving-kindness to each and every part

loving-kindness to the whole


zipper: your body, our bodies, all bodies

17. Ancient Green

by Kathleen Hannan


1. I lay under a tall oak tree,

asked the Goddess to shelter me.

She wrapped me up in ancient green,

ancient green.


2. All my tears, all my tears,

all my tears, the river’s gonna wash away.
