It is a good way to live


Poem Artwork

I have 5 desires

I desire accomplishment
for myself first, then for others.


I desire to be physically, mentally, and spiritually sound.

I desire to connect to my surroundings through the five elements; air, earth, fire, water, and spirit.

I desire wisdom and knowledge and self-broadening.

I desire discipline to accomplish all of these things.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I have 10 movements

I have movement always in a positive direction.

I have movement every day from East to West; sunrise to sunset.

I have movement at the base of my spine (kundalini) where my sexual energy is coiled snakelike.

I have movement in my eyes focusing on every detail of awareness, letting nothing of importance escape me.

I have movement in creative flow that drives me artistically.

I have movement in my words; researching their definitions and finding just the right word for my novel descriptions.

I have movement in labor; the ax that chops the kindling is the blade that warms the heart.

I have movement that gravitates toward nature and animals.

I have movement in kindness: if I want something, I give something.

I have movement to spare and share.

I enjoyed this a great deal. I have to also add that "I desire disciplie to accomplish all of these things." it is not easy to follow such a path but it is a path that is well worth following.

These are very noble and laudable qualities Sage
"I desire discipline to accomplish all of these things."
