Dharma of the Day #10

The little surprises of life

Are the bounty

With which the universe

Sweetens

–

When things seem hard

The Dao sends us flowers

For us to inhale

Fragrant

–

Amidst all the hubris

Petals fall cadent

Upon the breeze

Lightness

–

Wait only for the flute

And its subtle keys

It caresses your being

Listening

–

When your spirit flags

It is your salve

And your nectar

Soothing

–

Let the cosmos

Be your nurse

And your healer

Starlight

–

Open your palms

And take your alms

Humble and secure

Belonging

–

To find your place

Which always awaits

A monkey puzzle

Pendant

–

To ease back on tension

And to trust

Abandon to your Soul

Willingly

–

Then like a leaf in a stream

You can eddy

And dance the currents

Free

–

Have no fear of weirs

They are man made

Rivers know so much more

Wisdom

–

Journey always

With open heart

For it has a succour

Most subtle

–

Be as fluid as now

And do this often

A silken scarf, blowing

No aim

–

Ease off those shoulders

Breathe in and out

Especially out

Exhale

–

Now find your most

Authentic centre

And become, truly

A Star!!
