The mind doesn’t quiet
Or slow its thinking
And would we even want it to?
It protects us,
Warns us,
Keeps us out of our own way
And also,
The mind creates fear
Indecision and doubt
And so we need a balance
Of logic and peace,
Protection and freedom,
A life free from self-imposed fear
And in that quest
We find stillness,
Forgiveness,
Gratitude for all our weary minds
Have shown us in love
And duty
Faithfully leading the way
Step aside
Let the heart lead
Let the mind rest
A gift for a lifetime of service
