Starting here, what do you want to remember?
  How sunlight creeps along a shining floor?
  What scent of old wood hovers, what softened
  sound from outside fills the air?

Will you ever bring a better gift for the world
  than the breathing respect that you carry
  wherever you go right now? Are you waiting
  for time to show you some better thoughts?

When you turn around, starting here, lift this
  new glimpse that you found; carry into evening
  all that you want from this day. This interval you spent
  reading or hearing this, keep it for life ~

What can anyone give you greater than now,
  starting here, right in this room, when you turn around?
