a selfless devotion of purity,
to care for another and understand
that we are here to hold each other up,
when life throws us curves
we must bend with them or break.
a great zen teacher once said,
“we die, and we do not die.”
the meaning can get lost in a sea of self deception.
as we pass in and out of existence,
what is it that we learn
from the tears,
from the sorrow,
from the laughter
and the happiness?
the effort we put forth in our lives,
the grace that we shine into this world,
it is all that we can do,
to know that to be human
is all that we could ever be,
but it is the kindness
and the gentleness
that sets us apart
from the reactions
that serve no purpose
of good.
thank you
you inspire me to smile
and knowing that you are there
and caring for my well being
is the most intimate gift
any person can give to another.
