Ware Tada Taru Wo Shiru

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

In and out.

In and out.

In and out.

Ware Tada Taru Oshiru.

I have everything that I need already right now.

In my breath.

In my body.

In my home.

In my community.

Breathe in.

I am whole.

I am content.

I do not lack.

Breathe out.

My gratitude.

My strengths.

My abilities.

My love.

By sharing these,

I am made richer.

Those around me are made richer.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

I acknowledge the value of what is around me already.

The people.

The animals.

The plants.

The materials.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

What I choose to bring into my space is precious.

What I choose to put on my body is precious.

From the mind and hands of another into my care,

May I acknowledge the craft,

Care,

And precious resources with which they were made.

I am the temporary steward of all of my possessions.

May I respect and care for that which fills my space and protects my body.

May I mend that which can be mended,

Repurpose that which can be repurposed,

Share that which can be shared,

And borrow that which can be borrowed.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

I am perfectly tuned with my body and my surroundings to sense that which is enough.

Not too little.

Not too much.

But enough.

Enough.

May I savor the freedom of that which is enough.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.
