A Dharmagiri Blessing
May the soft grass tickle
The soles of your feet
Though it gives way
to the mud
May the cool mud envelope
And nourish your skin
Though it gives way
To the rocks
May the rough rocks
Remind you of your tenderness
Though they lay
At the edge of a cliff
May you not fear
The fall, but stand
At the edge
In awe of
The grass
The mud
The rocks
And your courage
