Psalm 1: The Book of Psalms, adapted by Stephen Mitchell

Blessed are the man and the woman
                  who have grown beyond themselves
                  and have seen through their separations.
They delight in the way things are
                  and keep their hearts open, day and night.
They are like trees planted near flowing rivers,
                  which bear fruit when they are ready.
Their leaves will not fall or wither.
                  Everything they do will succeed.
