You have a yellow horse,
Mine is white.
The colours are not the same,
But our hearts are united.
Li Po (701-762)
If you were to ask me why I dwell among green mountains I shall laugh silently; my soul is serene.The peach blossom follows the moving water, There is another heaven and earth beyond the world of men.
Li Po
“We, ourselves, have to discover inner peace in the span of our existence on this earth. To discover it we will have to use our innate wisdom. We need the qualities of God in us. We need Love with us; we need wisdom; we need tranquillity; and these must be interwoven into our consciousness.”
– M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
I am finding my conscience is an excellent signpost and reminder to accomplish the above.
