Jim's Guide to Enlightenment: The Complete Sutras

The Title says it all.
This is a twenty minute read
that answers.
A new aid to meditation.

A Time to Say Goodbye

                                                     
To each of us
there comes a time
when an action
becomes right:
a time of birth,
a time of death,
of sadness, or delight.

The clarion call
to fall in love,
the urge
to change direction:
a time for each choice
to be made
as we strive for perfection.

For me
the hardest time
of all,
no matter how I try,
is when the clock is still,
and it
is time to say goodbye.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
