for the perfect golden fruit
in fulfilling the conditions of its growth,

the fruit will be all the sweeter for this touch of holiness.

I position myself in love, not fear.
I look behind me with forgiveness.
I look forward with festive anticipation.
I embrace this holy moment and assert,

the moment to serve, the moment to seize
the legacy instead of the small.
Now. Now I will live large, love boldly,
reach to the edges of my unfurled heart and fully enrolled hope.

and allow communion with the One.

The One is everything, and everything is the One.
