Through Qigong, one learns to quiet the mind
and allow communion with the One.
We call the One "Tao," but you may be more comfortable
with a term like "Holy Spirit," or "God,"
as long as you don't start visualizing

The One is everything, and everything is the One.
Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.

you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Adding one to my count of days, or postponing
a feared death by another day do not inspire me.
I live to experience something new each day -

bring joy into someone's life,
feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
