Say the words: On earth as it is in heaven. Say the words, said my father. Sing the words, said my mother. Dance, said my sister.

One Heart
-- #LiYoungLee

Look at the birds. Even flying
is born

out of nothing. The first sky
is inside you, open

at either end of day.
The work of wings
was always freedom, fastening
one heart to every falling thing.
