Poetry

Eternity

He who binds to himself a joy

Does the winged life destroy.

But he who kisses the joy as it flies 

Lives in eternity’s sunrise. 

William Blake

Ten Thousand Flowers in Spring

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn. 

A cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,

This is the best season of your life.

Wumen

The Guest House

This being human is a guest-house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

Who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture.

Still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

Rumi

Kabir

Oh mind, you carry on your back 

Your actions like a heavy sack 

No wonder that your shoulders ached 

Another strain's enough to break 

Your neck – so drop this stupid load 

This is the last stop on the road

where you can find rest 

stay, be Love’s guest.
