When a new cycle begins,
The wheel of In-En-Kaho
That creates uncharted time and place
Begins its cycle.

When the gate of inception opens,
The unprecedented forces of
Earth, water, fire, wind, and space
Begin their motion.

The first “One”
Has no bounds or limitations.
There, power and wisdom flow in
And all possibilities lie hidden.

What will you seek
In this new year?
What light will you draw forth
From this incomparable “One”?

May you walk
Straight and free,
Pouring your soul
Into each and every moment.
