The Way

The Way

The mind reveals the way of the world,
Separating the real from the non-real,
Without the mind, we would not know what to do
To be grateful for the wisdom that it sees.

The heart reveals the way of balance,
Separating indulgence from need,
Without the heart, we would be lost in our lives,
To be grateful for the care that it offers.

The spirit reveals the way of truth,
Separating craving from our nature,
Without the spirit, we would remain enslaved to our mind and heart,
To be grateful for the peace that it creates.

Change continuously separates our selves,
From mind, heart, and spirit,
Yet in our practice—our way forward,
Each remains as One,
To guide within ourselves and throughout, Universe.
