o
The path to light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.
The force that makes the trees grow is the same force that makes your mind move.
With total acceptance there is nothing left to do,
everything becomes full, balanced, good and known.
Truly it is our own mind that sets out on a journey,
creates and overcomes all the obstacles,
lays the path and shines the light which we follow.
Suffering is resistance.
