Setting up precepts

 

Name and person which nearer?

Person and treasure, which more?

Gain and loss, which is more painful?

Extreme fondness surely greatly wastes.

Much hoarding surely intense loss.

Know contentment not is despised.

know when to stop is not endangered.

He will be able thereby to last to continue.

Connection

Bless the spirit that makes connections,
for truly we live in what we imagine.
Clocks move along side our real life
with steps that are ever the same.

Though we do not know our exact location,
we are held in place by what links us.
Across trackless distances
antennas sense each other.

Pure attention, the essence of the powers!
Distracted by each day's doing,
how can we hear the signals?

Even as the farmer labors
there where the seed turns into summer,
it is not his work. It is Earth who gives.

 

Path

Path ... and paths

 

All, all of it

All, all of it
Take,
give too.

And then some
and integrity
and humility.

Can't stray
Nature has its way.
