Live With A Thirst - Natalie Merchant
Count your breaths
Listen to the motion of your heart
Make a cradle of your arms to hold your baby sister
Feel your mind lose its restlessness
Sing
Share laughter
Consider the details
How light and shadow play in the room
Your mother's hands folding laundry
The strength in your limbs
Search the night sky in clusters of white light
See stars
Distant suns
A vast heaven will remind you there is a scale to things
And decide to stand
For the woman carrying her child on the rush hour crowded bus
Be awestruck by the stirring beneath the soil
That will promise spring
Prepare and share your daily meals with the people you love
Desire peace in your life and in your world
Forgive with grace
Learn with patience
Seek beauty
Protect a place in yourself where your innocence can survive
Move safely through this maze of a life that will surround you sometimes
Live with a thirst
