Happiness 7-20
be like a cypress: watchful serenity
be like a cypress: watchful serenity
seeing clearly the possibilities in fate, destiny, and choice
releasing, cleansing, purifying – and now you’re free to go on.
meeting the guardian of the threshold
having your life’s journey illuminated for you
choosing just the right bridge to sit under and wait
meeting…turning…circling…while the world spins
letting go of attachment by finding a new way of seeing it
transforming gold into a source of nourishment
finding your equilibrium in all places at all times.
…dream anyway…do good anyway…love anyway
wondering about all those lives you’ve had and will have
focusing all your attention on waterlilies and sparkles
coolly willing to take the heat
going into a cave so quiet you can hear your heart saying ‘be happy’
it’s not over yet
the magic of knowing when to grow taller or smaller
a time to find yourself all lit up inside.
many long, hot summer nights to remember you by.
enjoying a real conversation
choosing to leaf out exuberantly even after all that happened
seeing what no one else can
