To Meditate
To meditate does not mean to fight with a problem.
To meditate means to observe.
Your smile proves it.
It proves that you are being gentle with yourself,
that the sun of awareness is shining in you,
that you have control of your situation.
You are yourself,
and you have acquired some peace.

Meriwether Lewis (Aug 18,1774-1809) Lewis and Clark expedition
http://www2.vcdh.virginia.edu/lewisandclark/biddle/biographies_html/lewis.html
from “On the Discoveries of Captain Lewis,”
Look down, sainted sage, from thy synod of Gods;
See, inspired by thy venturous soul,
Mackenzie roll northward his earth-draining floods,
And surge the broad waves to the pole.
With the same soaring genius thy Lewis ascends,
And, seizing the car of the sun,
O’er the sky-propping hills and high waters he bends,
And gives the proud earth a new zone.
Joel Barlow

Bonus Poem:
To a Vagabond

1But half of me is woman grown;
2 The other half is child.
3But half my heart loves quiet ways;
4 The other half is wild.
5And so to hear your gypsy song
6 I dare not come again;
7To-morrow, when the twilight falls,
8 Your voice will lure in vain.

9For all of you is vagabond
10 And all of you is free;
11Your feet roam still the winding trails
12 That now are strange to me.
13My gypsy feet are captive held
14 Within a garden-space
15Since I renounced the whole wide world
16 For one belovèd face.

Constance Woodrow (1899-1937)
