experienced travelers leave no trace
as they move along the way
seasoned speakers do not lose face
when the words seem to slip away
good accountants don't need computers
to help them find the balance
a good door needs no latch
to remain closed
a good bond
does not need a rope
Wise ones lift the people up
and don't let people down
wise ones do not turn their backs
upon the pain that is around
wise ones are filled with love
not needing gloves
to dive into the work of kindness
they are unafraid of age or time
teaching those who need to learn
giving even the slow a turn
helping them up the ladder
to the heart of the matter
value your teachers,
value your students
those who do not value wisdom
live in delusion
perceive
the mystery

Experienced travellers leave no trace

a good door needs no latch

a good bond
does not need a rope
Wise ones lift the people up
and don't let people down
wise ones do not turn their backs
upon the pain that is around
wise ones are filled with love
not needing gloves
to dive into the work of kindness
they are unafraid of age or time
the wise teach the foolish
fools are lessons for the wise
value wisdom
or live a lie
this is the answer
to the riddle of life
Interpretation
Writers referenced: Blakney, Beck, McCarroll, Mitchell, Mcdonald, Lau
As we open our hearts to the truth of our DivineUnity, we find ourselves relaxing more and being aware of the impact our presence has upon others. Through the development of higher consciousness our lives begin to move in an effortless dance of love and harmony. We become more aware of the various challenges and social conditions which exist in the world and more willing to extend ourselves to foster the spiritual growth of other beings. In our awareness of our DivineUnity we reach out to others with love and compassion because we are aware that we are all one. We are aware of how precious wisdom is and thus we love our teachers and our students as we are conscious that we are both always.
