Renunciation


So much knowledge, so little wisdom.
So many words, so little truth.
So many things, so few thank yous.
So much wealth, so little justice.

Listen to what is rare.
Hold it close.
Feed it with pieces of your heart.

Carry it with you.

Let the rest go. 

Renounce the striving for perfection.

Embrace the broken, imperfect, forgotten world in need of your gaze

and care. 

Parts of the path are littered with broken glass and sharp stones.
Step lightly, noticing the Other 

knowing that this too is the way.
