Let your arms reach out to the world
The way the branches of a tree touch the sky
For life is short
And all too soon you will die

Let your spirit nourish the world
The way water nourishes the earth
Learn to give without expectation
Discover what life is really worth

Learn to let go
Be as easy as the breeze
And you will come to find
That you can do anything you please

Let your life flow
Like a winding stream
Your future is unknown
Don’t be afraid to dream

Follow your breath
As it goes in, and as it comes out
Like the tides of an ocean
Dissolving all doubt

Use your enthusiasm
To help others shine bright
The way a roaring fire
Illuminates the night

Don’t be afraid
To take a chance
The way the leaves in autumn
Weave and dance

Nature is a great teacher
Don’t forget what it has shown
Open your heart to the world
And you will never be alone
