my body serves me

my body serves me 
to the exact extent that 
i serve my body

the practice behind 
all other practice is the 
practice of practice

shoot for pretty good 
and you will hit the target 
almost every time

i conquer my fear 
by submitting daily to 
its bitter wisdom

i live every day
as if i will not be blessed
with another one

my practice taught me 
to hold the things that serve me 
and release the rest

if i just practice 
every step ten thousand times 
my luck will find me

encourage the good
and if you will not then just
pass him in silence

i do not allow
the quantum scale to perturb
my frame of reference

the vitality 
of my garden does not end 
with a good harvest
