Three Treasures
Break the mold
Burn the prints
Uncork the bottle
Speed the Genie gone .
Not of, but in this World,
Eye sight sharpens
Finds Nature's way
Quietly seeking silence .
Even though Nature does nothing
Nothing is left undone .
Enough becomes enough
Everything in it's own time .
Yin and Yang, the Te,
Into a family of oneness,
The practice of eternal light
Seeing small, listening more .
Keep needs to a minimum,
Wants to all but nil, for
Within each, a Universe exists
Where no storm lasts forever .
Flow as a water course
Which seeks her own level
Softly cutting it's own way
Unequaled in strength .
Surface your sixth sense :
To see, to hear, to smell,
To feel, and to taste are
Just not enough to liberate .
Cherish "three treasures":
"Courage" gained through "mercy",
"Generosity" found in "frugality",
"Leadership" developed from "humility".
Build life one brick at a time .
With a single step each journey begins .
Originating from a single source,
Existence ultimately depends on Love .
Instead of calendar pages
A slash joining four strokes .
Non-being, being, back to non-being
As the bell begins it's final toll .
