A ferryman --
By a rocky shore,
Onshore wind
Is blowing wildly;
In his rotten boat,
Unmoored,
He is still eager
To make his living.

Such is the portion of many...
There is a bright jewel within
Buried for a long time under dust
Today, the dust is gone and the light radiates
Shining through all the mountains and rivers...
Enjoyed the astuteness and brevity of your Zen jewel

A succinct and moving alert for any and all who tend to see what they don't have, as compared to what they do have. I often write about this subject, for coming from decades of lucrative arts and entertainment work, I have learned through experience (especially now as I live a chosen Spartan life) that the inner gifts we've spent many years accumulating in our spiritual and mental attic, revel in surfacing and surprising us when we least expect them. A noteworthy piece of wordsmithing. Thank you for posting.

A fine metaphor for all wage earners today, drifting into poverty as they struggle with the only job they know.
