Belongings impose…
Possessions clutter –
The less I need, the more I want…
I cannot own happiness.
Quid pro quo promotes ego…
Sharing welcomes the stranger –
More is less, less is more…
Selflessness sustains oneness.
Life’s path is a labyrinth…
Love’s path is an open heart.
The less I look, the more I see…
Unity requires emptiness.
Sacrifice enriches…
Suffering engenders –
The less I talk, the more I hear…
Beauty has been restored.

I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
