Finding our way to tranquility

In times of change and transition, 

This is the kind of clarity we hunger for: 

The promise of smooth sailing, 

With a minimum of easily surmountable obstacles. 

But finding our way to that simplicity and ease 

May often necessitate a harrowing trek 

Through storms of difficulty and disapproval 

 Or hacking our way through a jungle 

Of outdated rules and regulations. 

May the memory of past ease 

Give us the courage to trust in and work toward 

An equally tranquil and productive future.
