Choose not
the path of perfection,
frigid and ruthless
in its demands.
Walk rather
the road of compassion,
with love and mercy

Dennis, I love this! Beautiful 🙂
Thanks Lorrie. Have a blessed day.
Hi Dennis,
I love the description, “…path of perfection..frigid and useless”. I used to be like that, staring through vacant eyes…..always pushing forward to do more, be more, appear more. NO MORE! I love taking each moment as it comes now….just being the me that I am, no scorecards.
Just came back from the store to find your wonderful sharing, an affirmation to all who experience the fullness of the present moment. Peace and freedom to you always.
great poem to read every morning.
Thanks. Just wanted to let you know that your work always helps me to look at things with new eyes.
Thanks. I would love to try one from your poem.
Feel free to do so. Would love to see the result.
Ok, great, let you know.
Looking forward to it.
Beautiful picture of hands. “Love and mercy streaming from open hands” connects us to each other. ❤
Gratias!
