Truth is the fragrance that comes through a compassionate heart.A compassionate heart comes through kindness,kindness that is given to all lives.Kindness comes from melting like wax, like a candle melting with the light,the heart melting like that and bringing light to each one of the children….Love is our path towards our brothers and sisters.Compassion must be our point of unity.This is our union.This is union with  God.Our union is compassionate union on the path to God.We have come through the ages together; that is union.

When you point

 your finger 

  at someone

The other three

   point back

       at you

We never think of this

   In our 

    Judgements.

The kind man

  doesn’t judge 

    others.

He tries to understand

  and help.

All the energy that

   goes  into blame,

      Could  go into love.

Kindness is our true

   nature -the taproot

      Of our lives.

From which comes

  the shade, flowers ,and fruit

   Of the tree

There is sweetness in fruit. There is fragrance in flowers. There are trees within seeds. There is taste within water. There are glitters in the earth. There is a shine in gold. Is this not so? There is a treasury of grace and God’s qualities within us. If we can act with these qualities we will attain a life of freedom and peace.

Green

   is my favorite colour.

The colour of nature

      the colour of growth

           the colour of health.

They say it is

  the colour of chlorophyll

 that makes things green.

Chlorophyll has so many purposes

  cleaning

   purifying

        nourishing.

What is the colour of

 the wise man?

What gives him a 

   special fragrance?

I once smelled  

   ambrosia

       musk

          and sandalwood

While I sat near him.

It was heavenly;

 I remember it well.

But he never wore perfume,I knew;

    Then from whence

         did that

            fragrance come?
