A Meditation

Be calm, be still, be silent.

Do not wish for, desire, or hope.

Do not lust, envy, or covet.

 - Be calm, be still, be silent.

Do not worry, or fret, or regret.

Do not argue, or debate, or convince.

 - Be calm, be still, be silent.

Be grateful, be humble, be content.

Be proud, dignified, and honorable.

Be strong, be moral, be true.

 - Be calm, be still, be silent.
