Prayer: Vaclav Havel, Summer Meditations

It is I who must begin. 
Once I begin, once I try
 - here and now, 
right where I am, 
not excusing myself 
by saying things would be easier elsewhere... 
- to live in harmony 
with the "voice of Being," 
as I understand it within myself 
- as soon as I begin that, 
I suddenly discover, 
to my surprise, 
that I am neither the only one, 
nor the first, 
nor the most important one to have 
set out upon that road. 
Whether all is really lost or not 
depends entirely on 
whether or not I am lost.
