Praxis

Sing, people!

Stretch, meditate,

Pray, make love, dance —

Fly to the thing that brings you light!

Seek out friends to laugh, to rant,

Climb mountains, find wild rivers —

Whatever will expand, restore you,

rush through you, ignite, fulfill you.

Give it enough time

to refresh your luminescence,

For when, in my usual ways,

I can’t find mine,

I can then turn to you

and be lifted.
