light heart center
you climb to the top and you stand there
inhaling sunshine
the rains will come again and you will drink
not caring for the purity
of washed-out clouds
you will slip and you will fall
and neither one will destroy you
just as long as you keep laughing
it isn’t courage you need
so much as tenacity
lion-hearted is not the same as lion
fighting for survival is not the same
as unenlightened
holding jewels in your fingers
is not the same as sincerity
the seedhead is never as fragile
as bloom
there is no wisdom taller
than observation
and the view is ever changing
sun is the only constant
and even that is actually
star

i am reading the story behind these words. maybe it’s my story only, but it doesn’t matter. i see it. nicely nicely done.
“fighting for survival is not the same
as unenlightened
holding jewels in your fingers
is not the same as sincerity”
yes. truth.

I think we need to learn from the flowers.. they seem to have the wisdom many of us lack.. the wisdom of being.

I love this wholly, and this especially:
it isn’t courage you need
so much as tenacity ~
