Students of the Instant

Come to me, unchanging glory of unconditional happiness.

Come to me, unchanging glory of unconditional happiness. Come to me, muses who pour fragrant inspiration over the cold reality of battle. Express yourself in me, divine greatness of the spirit that knows how to shine without taking credit, without flaunting a name.

I want to renounce all selfishness. I lend my person, I offer my being. Nothing is mine but the sublime freedom of melting into humility. Each instant I receive as a unique chance to give. I want to exist devoted only to giving thanks for my existence.

I embrace you, life of mine. I open myself to you, tinkling magic of transcendence. Eternal sun of all-power shining in my heart, go out in every direction and touch the world with the grace of your beauty. Walk with me, armies of servants of light. Let us sing in silence that we are one. Let us dance to the universe and take on the responsibility of fulfilling our strict duty: To smile.
