I am come once again to the beginning of this life here and now, 
with the weight, the body, connected deeply to the planet, 
so that every cell acknowledges its presence. 

The life of the being connected to the water 
from which it drinks its intelligence, 
and the breath which moves the air into the body 
and distributes the benefits of its nature 
with completely objective equanimity 
through every molecule that lives within me. 

And so, as I sense more fundamentally, 
and I breathe more deeply, 
I live here within this moment 
more fully prepared to receive this mystery called "Life". 

Yet I cannot really give a name to it, 
for it is no name, 
but rather an energy that lives and breathes with no name, 
and no apparent substance.
