To understand life
We need recognise nature
Regard Mystery!
This life of ours
Is misunderstood
By us and all
Just take a look
We think
It’s success
When people overdress
We think
It’s a mess
When folks caress
What’s kind is weak
What’s wrong is strong
The bigger the better
The smaller; the gall
Wouldn’t you want to have it all?
Great cars, large homes, TV meals all alone
Working hours so late; no time to hear tone
The rhythm of life
Is all mixed up
The richer have less than a full cup
It overflows and is wiped away
Sparing no thought
For others today
The nature of life
Digs deeper than strife
It births, enriches, melts away
Changes, and changes
Never the same
From one moment to the next
It remolds a new Flame
From whence it comes
Nobody knows
Our faith tells us it’s God that sows
Observe the seasons
And seeds that grow
Watch them bloom their power
Then fall even so
The soil rekindles life from them
And over and over it begins again
This life is a Mystery
To be sure
Here to be shared by one and all!

The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz's code for life
Agreement 1
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Agreement 2
Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Agreement 3
Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Agreement 4
Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
