ROOT, CENTER, AND FLOW

 

When going down the path of life,

      and you don't know which way to go,

Look within to tune yourself,

          with root, center and flow.

 

Through the root, embrace the earth,

          the support beneath our feet;

Ground with the energy,

      that can make your life complete.

 

Bring this power to the center,

          where quiet and peace enable;

It's harder to fall off the path,

      when balanced, true and stable.

 

Then flow on down this river of life,

          yielding so as not to get stuck;

Take root, and center, and the fluid way,

          to turn misfortune into luck.
