Rare, Hard to Do, Only Solution

Living in the forest, we are always aware of the trees. Patient, deep-rooted, even in fierce storms, they stand. If we stand like the trees, committed and enduring, we can face the conditioned world with pure awareness. We see it just the way it is, and we can live in a state of gratitude, making peace with the divisiveness of this realm. So we offer the blessing of our own inner harmony – the heart’s compassionate, pure presence. At least we live and die in a state of grace – in gratitude and love. Some will be blessed by that. But we can’t spread peace in the world without being peaceful ourselves. Rare. Hard to do. Only solution.
