Health is the possession of nature
Contentment being a confidence in non-being
For all that can live without form
Is the greatest joy of self-evident spirit!
Being deeply loved by someone
Gives you strength, while loving someone
Deeply gives you courage, therefore
Be it said that you loved with all your kindness!
Possessing fully your inner-nature
Finding peace in all that is transient
Your kindness in words creates confidence
Your kindness in thoughts creates profoundness
Your kindness in cherishing creates love in others
Be it said that you were the silent source
Of strength for others, fully and simply yourself
Without any need to compete or compare
Worthy of the respect of all others
A simple person, a patient man, a compassionate woman.
Your kindness in cherishing creates love in others
– My feelings exactly. Thank you Wuji. Another beautiful poem.
thanks I’m trying to explore humanity’s wisdom of late
A very interesting theme. There is so much to explore.
i liked the poem’s content – but i liked the cadence – what was remarkable was that your poetic style changed completely from sufi/bhakti/rumi/kabir like tothe lilting wisdom of the far east – simple restrained with beuty in brevity – speaking without saying – like an actor who changes with his roles!
