I wish you wellness of body and soul.
I wish you wellness of the seer’s clear
mind. I wish you wellness of peaceful shoals
guiding the swimmer safely home. I wish
you wellness of the soaring eagle, wings
gliding through calming breeze, set to vanquish
stormy winds by instinct—a divining
faith. I wish you wellness free of all fear.
I wish you wellness of the long-distance
runner, every muscle caressing air
of life. I wish you wellness as you dance
through our universe, urging all who stare
to dance. I wish you wellness of the fawn
gliding through open fields in the pre-dawn.
