Spiritual Practice

Living in the world as we do

And yet being happy in spite its condition

Is a spiritual practice in itself.

Accepting all things just as they are

Accepting joy as joy and sadness as sadness

Accepting love when it is offered

But always loving, loving, loving

Without judgment or discrimination

Is the way of the true Sage

The way of enlightenment.

Nothing good comes easy lol. Truth poetically expressed... I've come to expect nothing less from you. 32 views and only these three lonely comments... such a shame!

As long as I am read, that must be enough for me

Yeah, I know what you mean. Writing is wonderful and fulfilling all on it's own, but there is something in the writer's soul that needs to share what is written too. When people take the time to post a comment and give you feedback on what in your writing struck a chord with them, or why it did so... then the circuit feels complete; energy and inspiration flows. I enjoy your poetry a great deal and it always speaks to me on some deep inner level... I'd just like to see more people participate in the give and take between Poet and Readers.
