All life in union
Don’t intellectualise
Some things must be felt
Mindfulness
Stillness in movement
Strength in the impermanent
Silence in the noise
Zen Garden
Soft cov’ring of green
Age, wisdom, tranquility
Quietly reflected
Learning
Feel your way forward
No failures, only lessons
Learn diligently
Steadily
Uncluttered and calm
Move steadily through chaos
Untouched and peaceful
Witness
Believe there is good
In spite of all you witness
And so there shall be
Pristine
Don’t leave blank spaces
Go back and fill in the gaps
Keep the slate pristine
Pride
No bandwagons here
The journey is hard enough
Without foolish pride
Unfinished
Unfinished business
Resolve it internally
There’s no going back
Suppleness
Slowly but surely
Good posture will be restored
Suppleness returns
Legacy
Build a legacy
Even the pyramids laugh:
“Our purpose is lost”
Scrutiny
Careful scrutiny
Leave no detail overlooked
Much depends on it
Faces
So many faces
Like leaves blown past in the wind
Some might have stayed friends
In Mind
Keep your plans in mind
Always work towards your aims
Who will, if you don’t
Will Power
The will must be trained
Weakness can be overcome
Replaced by will power
