You have love and beauty in your heart,
that is the one thing to know about yourself.
None of the rest matters.
First, find joy in the sadness and the love of justice,
in work and in contemplation,
in connection and introspection,
in contentment and in desire.
Then, let this joy you find
power your every moment,
your every move, your every breath.
Don’t wait on anything or on anyone to be you,
the true life-loving you.
Expectations close our hearts and minds
— prefer hope and readiness.
Everything changes,
mysteriously or predictably, but eventually.
Letting be is restful.
Joy is the art of life. Become a master.
