Dealing With Reality Senryus

“The universe is transformation; life is opinion.”  
                    ~~Marcus Aurelius~~

Marcus Aurelius was the last of the five, good Roman
emperors. His reign was one of great tranquility….he 
has symbolized the….“Golden Age of the Roman Empire”
……..for many generations in the West!




you may not like it
this is the way the world is
let the good times roll

acceptance is your gift
changing the unchangeable 
is grief and madness

life is your journey
transformation is to know 
that you do not know

our minds just run us
answers are the booby prize
serve others with joy

The untranformed will never understand these. That’s OK.they too busy not understanding they are perfect as is. TOO Busy changing the climate, others, other countries. Living in a phantom future of peace..lol.. chasing being at the top of anything. I understood that when I wrote this! Christmas hugs, Pangie
