Todays guiding poem. Hokusai says Hokusai says look carefully. He says pay attention, notice. He says keep looking, stay curious. He says there is no end to seeing He says look forward to getting old. He says keep changing, you just get more who you really are. He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself as long as it is interesting. He says keep doing what you love. He says keep praying. He says every one of us is a child, every one of us is ancient every one of us has a body. He says every one of us is frightened. He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear. He says everything is alive -- shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees, wood is alive. Water is alive. Everything has its own life. Everything lives inside us. He says live with the world inside you. He says it doesnt matter ifyou draw, or write books. It doesnt matter ifyou saw wood, or catch fish. It doesnt matter if you sit at home and stare at the ants on your veranda or the shadows of the trees and grasses in your garden. It matters that you care. It matters that you feel. It matters that you notice. It matters that life lives through you. Contentment is life living through you. Joy is life living through you. Satisfaction and strength is life living through you. He says dont be afraid. Dont be afraid. Love, feel, let life take you by the hand. Let life live through you. - Roger Keyes joannamacy.net/poemsilove/workshop-poems/131-hokusaisays.html From a special friend Linda Ginesi. With love to all in my GFR group (Buddhism non-joiners) eg.
