Let us access our ability to transcend
May we transcend ourselves. Our situations. Our pain.
May you choose fire over comfort. May you choose it quietly
May every woman you meet be a daughter, and all your brothers sons
May you find honor every time you yield
May you never yield
May you put your sword in the ground and be quick to the blade, always
May you access that forgotten completion that can be yours in a flash and gone again in a flicker
May you forget your loneliness in service
May you revel in the taste of water
This world is yours
May you see inside of every person you meet and bless them with your eyes and gentle peace
May you rage against the suffering of the world — without regard for your welfare, continuity, or any fixation on your rights
May you face yourself and the stars as the soft heat leaves your body
May you find wonder amidst the dying of your possibilities
May you do what is right, right, right
May you forget, forget, forget

If you’re not full with love and power, seek community in men.
