Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Buddhist Serenity

in gratitude
we went
our way
admiring
the wonder
of another
sunny day
thankful for
the happiness
in our life
humble 
yet
so blessed

thanks, Gershon. I love the metaphor that all manmade religions are different sides of one mountain.

I wish we all could think this way every day. The world would certainly be a better place.

. 111 Words . Here . “Life” 'Lesson #1' . There is a "Mighty Bridge" continuing on into and all throughout this very "Moment." Moving on in "Peace Infinitely!" "Stretching Out" from shore to shore "Rising Up" over the quiet lands, of our "Hate" of our "Love" "Rising Up" over the "Muddy Waters" of our "Indifference" "Towards" "These Efforts." This "Bridge" is the "Mighty Bridge" of "The Conscious and Continuous Journey" into the "Full Acceptance" of our "Creator" of "Ourselves" of "All Life" for just how this "Is" and "Can "All" Be" with "All" of us "Working Together" "Ever-Diligently" "With" our "Creator" and with "All Life" "Consistently" "Continuously, and "Ever-Patiently." Our "Mighty" and Ever-Generous "Creator" will "Meet, and "Greet" us, "Here!"
