Dear Demetrios, I'm trying to keep up with your insightful pieces of art! You are challenging your reader with your profound enlightening writes! "Desires of the heart" to the detriment of soul! Our desires if not confined to reason we will be drifted away.. So how can we barter peace of mind and soul.. the creed of our core for our impulsion, blind passion, desires?! A great joy to read.. your beauties are a source of knowledge.. thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe and blessed always.

Hi Demetrios, another wonderful Monoku you place before us. No matter the difficulty we must keep the soul in harmony. These words come from your heart but through the soul. Within the soul lies our tranquility. There i shall find inner peace. I love the content of this one line, it says so much to me. Have a wonderful weekend. Your friend....Mike.

We should moderate our desires and not compromise the tranquility of the soul in any way. Tom

A profound thought my dearest friend, for it is not worth sacrificing the tranquility of one's soul and risk the loss of a soul just to satisfy any frivolous heart's desires.....Maria xxx
