From the recording Bones
Lyrics
The breath rises
The breath returns
Between its stillness
No thing yearned
In a piece offering
May I undo harm
Between the rising
And the returning
There is the quiet field
Where nothing is grasped
Where the mind bows
Where the heart loosens
Where breath becomes
The gentil teacher
May this breath
Carry no violence
May this breath
Carry no fear
May this breath
Carry no hunger
For more than what is
May this breath
Undo the harm
I have made
In unknowing
Knowing
As the breath returns
So do I return to the place
Without striving
To the place
Without wanting
To the place
Where stillness
Is the true refuge
May the breath be clear
May the breath be kind
May the breath be the path
That leads me home
May the breath be kind
May the breath be the path
That leads me home
The breath rises
The breath returns
Between its stillness
No thing yearns
In a piece offering
May I undo harm
The breath rises
The breath returns
Between its stillness
No thing yearned
In a piece offering
May I undo harm
May this breath
Carry no violence
May this breath
Carry no fear
May this breath
Carry no hunger
For more than what is
May this breath
Undo the harm
Carry no violence
May this breath
Carry no fear
May this breath
Carry no hunger
For more than what is
May this breath
Undo the harm
I have made
In unknowing
Knowing
