One song
for life
so many
melodies
of harmony
improvised
or stabilized
each one is
quite different
matches more
or mostly less
therefore relish
also differences
nurture, treasure
the very rare one
that matches
first and last
for it can be
a one and only
as everyone is
finding a place
in the vastness
of a big heart
and if not one
then two for sure
together is infinite
boundless we are
in love and spirit.
“Yeshe Zangmo dream blues” — a consecration
Recall one song for life
Hold up tight and overfill, then better stop.
What is sharpened by hammer blows cannot endure long.
A room full of gold and jade — no one can preserve it.
Wealth, property, and arrogance vanish by themselves, of one’s own doing.
Do the work and then withdraw — that is the way of Heaven.
— Laotse / Laozi, Tao Te Ching / Dào Dé Jīng 道德经, #9, translation group with Elena Camesi Janke
A new day dawns every day with a song for life
