Wonderful contributions. I suppose mine reflect current concerns.

To prevent all deaths, though death is inevitable
To face death without fear, though loss of life is terrifying
To accept all losses, though each loss is immeasureable
To be content with what is, though much is unacceptable

To find callings though callings are unattainable
To seek health though health is failing
To perform tasks though tasks innumerable

One for the gardeners:
To keep clearing leaves though leaves keep falling
To keep weeding the garden though weeds keep growing
To keep to the planting plan though the head gardener does not have a plan.
(Oops did I say that last one out loud).

To save our shared environment, though its exploitation may seem endless.

To protect all brassicas, though cabbage whites are relentless.

[Rousei]

To always return to open awareness, though each moment produces internally pulling thoughts.
To never surrender to conditions, though our senses make us believe change is not the universal constant.
To always remember each being experiences the same sensory conditions as us, though our minds make us believe each being is wholly separate.

You can use this method, also traditional in Soto Zen for those particularly long Sutras ...
