And so it begins 
As the daybreak beckons 
Once again 
I settle in 
And watch time spin. 
When it commands 
And directs 
The synchronicity of 
Its unfolding 
Summoning and holding 
My attention 
My mind reflects, 
How shall I live today? 
In earnest I pray.

[chorus]
To commune with 
My attention 
To be alive and present 
In each decision 
While the calling of 
Distraction’s incessance. 
I choose to remain 
With my holy intention. 
Be it petting my dog 
Or speaking to God. 
I understand my place 
Within a state of grace, 
Is where my power lies. 
Put away 
The foolish toys.


The Participatory Theory 
Becomes more clearly 
Discerned 
Written in the skies 
Heard in the wind’s cries 
The rise of Taurus 
A new beginning 
Before us 
The Cosmos and the Psyche 
Join in full display 
As the dance of creation 
And its 
Ethereal flirtation 
Becomes 
My emancipation 
My appreciation 
To listen more 
To choose hope 
For this very sacred day

To commune with 
My attention 
To be alive and present 
In each decision 
While the calling of 
Distraction’s incessance. 
I choose to remain 
With my holy intention. 
Be it petting my dog 
Or speaking to God. 
I understand my place 
Within a state of grace, 
Is where my power lies. 
Put away 
The foolish toys.

As miracles light the way 
And shift my perception 
For love’s intention 
Mercy and Grace 
Are my holy teachers 
Enveloping my heart and mind 
On this road to timeless ness’s sublime 
For I Ching is the way 
Changeless yet changing 
And rearranging 
Always 
Beauty on full display 
Despite our best efforts 
To distract in disarray

I bow and pray 
And give thanks for this 
Wonderous 
Tumultuous 
Conspicuous 
Most curious of days 
How will I join in 
Creation’s intimation 
The most holy of holy days?
