No worries, No Vanity, No Inequality

Yes slip to your places of principled care,
to the poorest and freest and loveliest there.

For locked in your box on a single road,
on the path to adventure as onwards you strode,

you ate of forgiveness, forgiveness of self,
and picked up the chalice of sensual health;

the not knowing the patches of baldness of bare,
the rocklands of shadow that watched for you there.

Dear Jayne

Thanks for your comment. I wrote this a long time ago but it has always stuck in my head...I guess because of its simplicity and the rhymes making it easier to remember. Just thought I would post something before hitting the sack. Its been a long day! Take care, Daniel

Good night Daniel. Sleep

Good night Daniel. Sleep well... I know you will, having "No worries, No Vanity, No Inequality". Peace. ~A Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. - Balsekar
