'kasa' - Truth and Wisdom 2
truth Bails, lies Bills
the Purest speech from the Heart is a cry
Prudent leaving lengthens 'Life is Short'
Life has MUSTs to be done.
Don't fail to do or else,
Life will fail you suddenly sadly
nothing is Right everything can be Wrong,
whiles nothing is Wrong everything can be Right
the noisy bleating goat disturbs the village
at the expense of a glad soup pot ready to boil
Fear of Death denies know one of a Good night Sleep
big EYES aren’t clear sight
only Distance can tell how clustered the Stars are
not an Eye
the Blind see further in the dark than the Sighted
the Limbs of a cripple
tells nothing of his Height of Insight
Power of imagination
makes you Stand whiles sound in bed
Thinking your Shadow stands by side in the dark,
is your mind
Want to see your Mind, without the cuts and stitches?
Stand in-front of a Mirror,
what you see is not Self but Mind
