Or be humiliated

In your career, with money,
sex and possessions.

not  a  talent,  but  a  manifestation  of  love,  flowing  through  man

Personality and humility

Personality and humility 
are both crucial in life, 
but excessive humility 
and a lack of humility- 
are always beyond my capabilities.

such
     simplicity,
coherent
yet
a certain frailty-
piety
austerity
humility
all intermingled :
no absolutes
egalitarian..

I Am the Rose That Blooms

I am the rose that blooms
in fields of thickest weeds, "Oh, God!
This is not fair."

A gentle humility of blossoms
radiates to an open sky.

Amos

Forget-me-not sprigs
for the nipper of figs
and dandelion soup set a boil
The sycamore tree
leans ever toward me
crowned in humility: loyal.

Forgiveness

Put the sandal of humility
Admit humanity at least now !
Don't judge others so severely
Everyone deserves another try

Bring Your Soul To the Market

trade the greed 
for the humility you need
step no toes
drive slow 
be the bear when when no one else cares
salvation is your reward
thank you Jesus

Humiliation

Pride is humiliated
At the end of a trip
By the sudden stop
Of a fall.
Humility is exalted
At the foot of a throne
To the seat of a king
From a crawl.

The Mirrored Lens

Epistemic Humility,
the world adjusts its crown

Reality filtered through the lens
of who looks, when, and how

Search For Them

Search for persons with passion to rule,
those with humility and compassion.
They are plenty in the forests of imaginations;
always talking and acting off-air

pride will not let go
'til our selfishness we know,
on pendulums we swing
as emotions sing,
reason has no place
'til faith we will unlace
and humility let flow

Premium Member A Lesson In Humility

Listen to poem:
the whirl 
of cycles
makes
the world
go round
    evolution
    banks on it
we masked humans
now feeling the brunt
of karmic wrath

In Awe

I will lift up my eyes to the highlands; the moon and the stars far beyond; bathe in wonders before me- delight in holy humility.
