a gift of words from a kindred...

Posted on Feb 6th, 2007 by student of the I Ching  : humility as a key to awakening student of the I Ching
=======================

"...A Chinese poem I saw at the Pearl River market yesterday,
it was printed on a long cloth panel, meant for adorning a wall.
I didn't .. buy it, nor .. the space to display it,
but I reap so many rewards from reading it over and over again.
i wrote it twice in my planner cuz the first time,
I didn't place the words in the right places,
I added more lines than were originally there.
It's such a simple quote that the placement and
capitalization of each word make a difference
in its overall meaning:
-----------------------------------
 
Strive to always do what is right--not in
The eyes of others, but in your own heart.
Others' thoughts are transitory-- one moment
They will love you, the next they will not.
Act on what is right in your own heart,
     And there will be victory.
 
 
Love,
V"
