The voice of the beginning
Is the wind that invokes our wish.
The light of the beginning
Is the wisdom that shows our path.
The time of the beginning
Is the life that revitalizes everything.

Let us love the beginning
That harbors everything.

Whether it is suffering or joy
Trials or new openings, or
The awakening of your Real Self
You have yet to see,
All emerge
From here.
