You are the vast expanse of the sky, the solid foundation of the earth. You are the warmth of the day and the gentle breath of the wind. You are the mystery of the night, the grain of the land, the soothing scent of sandalwood ointment, the beauty of flowers, and the life-giving essence of water.

You are the substance of my offering, the embodiment of all that is good and pure. You are everything, and I am humbled in your presence. What can I possibly offer you, who are already everything? My words are but whispers in the wind, my actions mere ripples in the water.

Yet still, I offer my gratitude, my love, my devotion. I offer my heart, my soul, my very being. For in your presence, I am whole. And in my offering, I find peace.
