Self Care

​Take care of your temple
In all that you do
Nourish body and mind
Prioritize spiritual life too
Take rest when you need it
Good sleep is the best
Food and drink are essential
Embrace each moment with zest
Exercise your body
Challenge your mind
Build muscle and endurance
Be loving and kind
Connect with pure consciousness
Find the ground of your being
Through open awareness
More truth you’ll be seeing
It takes some devotion
To let go of preconceptions
Meditation is a good way
To take life in new directions
With purpose and meaning
Decisions become clear
More flow in your actions
More freedom from fear
Take a moment to step back
Observe thoughts and feelings
Your true essence is much greater
Practice stillness of being
Find source of love within you
Share that love with others
Common ground of our existence
Recognize truth you’ll discover
Taking care of yourself helps
See Zen in all
Notice beauty around you
Peace and happiness recall
