To trust in what I do not
understand –
the way flowers follow
with imperceptible grace
the sequence of the day,
to bend at nightfall
like wheat in the wind
or to let go,
like seeds anticipating Spring
to be still with the stillness
of my body breathing
is to be, perhaps,
like prayer
alive
and vital in the air.

“to be still with the stillness of my body breathing”…I like that phrase! It could be Daoist, too.
