When it’s my turn to speak,
sort through my harvest
and share what is finest

I want to impress upon the young
that to have an easy life they must
attempt, first, to do what’s hardest

Not to postpone the difficult task
of being and becoming
who they long to be...

Practice: Obedience, Service and Trust —
towards what’s sacred, others, themselves
(with radical acceptance and gratitude)

And to remember that everyday
they will cast their net out wide
and only what is theirs will return.
