To Be and Belong, by Mark Nepo

 Let go your want for greatness

and feel the tool that’s in your hand.

Let go your fear of emptiness
and receive the wave still reaching
from the beginning.

It only wants to enliven you
the way a candle fills an entire room.

Let the web of living things
entangle you.

Only stars are free
and they are so lonely.

Curse what you will
but give thanks

that everything alive
wants something from you.
