[ALL SPOKEN WORD- Mantra Style] (water flowing, steady rhythm begins) I do not rush. (tap… tap…) I do not wait for perfection. (tap… tap…) I build. (pause) One branch. One placement. One choice made with care. (water shifts slightly) You think sacred work must be dramatic. You think purpose arrives all at once. (steady rhythm continues) It doesn’t. (pause) It arrives the way shelter does ......... slowly, intentionally, until one day you realize you are safe. (soft splash) What you create matters. Even if no one applauds. (tap… tap…) Especially then. (longer pause) Do the work that holds life. Do the work that changes the current. (water deepens) You are allowed to take up space in the river of your own becoming. (rhythm fades, water remains, then silence)
