You are a child of the Universe…

Seek quieter places.
Rediscover your soul.
Mistrust words.
Ignore siren slogans.
Unplug your brain
from the madness.
Turn down the volume.
Disavow data.
Enjoy water that flows,
birds that fly, the
simple truths of the eye,
the colors of the sky.
Seek out a smart,
compassionate companion.
Accept your doom.
Diminish desire.
Want what you have.
Renounce regret.
Be patient in this
impatient world.
Know that nothing
can ever be whole.
Try to see that
everything is fine
as it is, as it can be.
In spite of all that,
do your human best
to be happy, to be free.
