A Poem For Today - No use fretting over gold, beauty or fame;

[KEN DICKINSON]

No use fretting over gold, beauty or fame;

No use fretting over gold, beauty or fame; 
Nurturing these, how can we calm
Our fluttering heart?
Non attachment brings deep truth, 
And a truthful nature brings immortality.
Empty your heart, 
Sit quietly on a mat.
In meditation we become one with All; 
Tao billows like the vapors
In a mountain valley, 
And its supernatural power wafts into our soul.

By Loy Ching-Yuen
(1873 - 1960)
