Poem Artwork

Following the Way,

We trample down

The roots of both types:

The fruit and weed

Tangled in twists.

 

Researching things,

We grasp what heavens

Have realized

In our earthly bodies

As their sacred means.

 

All those who refrain

From following the Way

Are like a puppet

Resting in suspension,

Year in year out.

 

But those who go forth

Are like the drift that

Flows within all things

As their inherent gust,

Breath in breath out.

Finding one's personal path is perhaps the dilemma to end all dilemmas for many people. Sad indeed are those who are unaware that a path is marked for them and them alone. The book "A Path to Peace and Happiness" by Wu Yansheng says it all. Thank you for posting.

Yes, we all need our own journey toward self awareness.
I don't live in a box, it's very difficult dealing with people who do.
Nice poem.
Peace love and light,
Amber

My path has had so many twists and turns, I sometimes ended up back where I started, and then I start over. Now I'm just over the hill.

Indeed, everyone follows some kind of way, whether it goes forward or backward, that is the question. Or worse yet, "in suspension", as you said, "year in year out".

we all need to follow our own true path
