Poem Artwork

To bring oneself back to the regular course

One has to start from inside, at the level of guts,

And then proceed outwards along the spine,
 
The strongest part of the bodily structure.
 
 
Following order and acting from near to afar,
 
We have a chance to rectify our spots between
 
The past and the future; to return to the course
 
We have to bring about peace of mind first.
 
 
Yielding at the level of the stubborn guts,
 
We simply rectify then our hardened backs;
 
This is an evidence of contradiction between
 
The inner preparation and worldly performances.
 
 
As soon as good order starts to be a norm of life,
 
Stability of situation launches a mechanism
 
Of good intents, putting in practice one's own mode
 
Without any additional effort and impact.
 
 
From olden times such an internal instrument
 
Has been referred to as 'transformation of mind,'
 
Meaning the absence of turbulences and discrepancy

Between the inner setting up and outer activities.

We need to take a step back and reviews our life decisions. Only then can we understand where we've been and where we are going.

I think most people live most of their lives "on the outside" rather than from the inside, to use your terminology. If you don't believe in the life of the soul, then how can a person draw upon its vitality to set things right?

With so few attempting to understand this "within and outside" aspect of living one's life, your words deserve a broad audience. Well done.
