Present, past, and future,
All entwined,
Simultaneously experienced,
Enjoyed and respected,
All of time as one.
Aura of the past,
Ancestors and traditions.
Carry them forth,
Proclaim them through actions,
Honored and nurtured.
Life as present,
Enjoying the moment,
Experienced to the fullest,
Embracing the good and the bad,
Perpetually learning.
Serving humanity,
Responsibility to nature,
Fostering companionship,
Promoting harmony,
Unity.
Life as example,
Softly guiding,
Ensuring continuity,
Respecting all others,
Being respected.
Three pillars of a life well lived,
Origins, being, and belonging,
Interwoven and tangible,
Seemingly transient,
Nonetheless always eternal.
And at one’s earthly end,
Richness of spirit,
Serenity,
Gratitude,
Peace.
