| Poem: Join Me on the Path Home [01.09.2003] |
We search for truth, but we are quickly wrapped up by partial truth
We search for kindness, but our own attachments replace it with judgements
We search for freedom, but our own insecurity have already imprisoned our soul
We search for passion, but the selfish heart has no room for compassion

Free of weight, the mind moves freely. |

| Poem: Dispelling Fear [23.08.2003] |

| Poem: Home Again [03.08.2003] |
Hoped for simple comfort and peace of mind
Dreamed so many things that were lies
But only had to look inside to truly realise.

Happiness knows no sweetness without pain
After walking many roads alone
Finally found the simplest way is to go back home. |

Every single movement in the cosmos reflects the empty nature of Law,

From nothing to everything,
All are equal in the Law. |

| Poem: Fire and Being [03.07.2003] |
Inside each form of matter, there “beingness”
resides… For what is the heart without compassion,
a shell almost empty, confined to shadows and
cold, a lantern without a flame that animates its
existence, renders it with illumination, warmth
and purpose. |
|
|
| Poem: Diamond Like [02.07.2003] |

The lantern flame dimmed to the faintest spark.
The road is treacherous, no end in sight,
Yet in the distance flickers a great light. |
