Notes Regarding the Living Heart

A single seed can turn into a forest. A single heart can transform a nation. To be brave is jai ka. To be generous is jai kwan. To test the body, climb a mountain. To test the soul, meet another. To find happiness, meet as strangers, But don't stay that way. With a sabaidee, greet the days, one by one. With a khop jai and a smile, do what you can To change worlds, even one inch, one hand at a time. That is the path of the jai, Human and forever growing.
