The comforts of life:
Accept them with thanks and grace
Then share what you can

Stranger than fiction
Hidden truths of history
Buried in the clues

Look for life’s lessons
Mistakes should teach, not punish
A chance to improve

Keep the mind focused
Alone in contemplation
Without discomfort

Checklists completed
A busy week well ended
Time now to unwind

Unplanned but welcome
The unexpected small wins
Every little counts

Your destination:
So close, and yet still so far
Enjoy the journey

All the little gains
Can easily be undone
Without attention

Learn from your mentors;
Following in their footsteps
Show others the way

True enlightenment:
Observe the ordinary
See it with new eyes

True contemplation:
Not a technique to master,
A state to allow

Awareness of self:
Not happiness or sadness
But something deeper

Not simply a wave
You are the deep wide ocean
Uncontainable

Don’t question your path
Press on with an open mind
The way will appear

Momentum waivers:
Don’t lose sight of your vision
Re-commit to it
