The Secret of Contentment

To be the seed and not

wish to be the flower.

Or to be the flower and

not wish to be seed or rain.

To be the rain and be grateful

to be the rain. Which

is to say, to be the self

and delight in being the self.

But when I say self, I mean

to know the self as seed.

As flower. As rain. When I

say to know, I mean to

ever be in wonder.
