Time for poetry! This is the second in my series of poems inspired by the Tao Te Ching. (The first one is here.)
Happiness Meditation Poem – An Undisturbed Mind
Evil cannot disturb me.
I can only disturb myself.
Rejection cannot disturb me.
Abandonment cannot.
Aloneness cannot.
I can only disturb myself.
Setbacks cannot disturb me.
Traffic jams cannot.
Hurdles cannot.
I can only disturb myself.
This the sage knows:
Happiness is a flower that blossoms naturally
in the fertile soil
of an undisturbed mind.
I have decided that
I shall not disturb myself
Ever again,
And, then, I shall watch what grows.
