A Broom In Hand and a Humble Smile

Sweep, sweep, sweep, Sweep away the dust, Brush, brush, brush, Brush away the tares, Sweep, sweep, sweep, Sweep away the tears, The hopes, the fears And the weary cares, Wipe them all away! With broom in hand And a humble smile My heart shines Brighter than the Sun! According to the Buddha, mindfully and joyfully cleaning and sweeping is a form of meditation, and will yield peace of mind, tranquility, humility and heavenly rebirth.
