kindness

Being kind is always a strength."
 ~ Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche


it's being, not seeing
that unfurls the flowered truth
kindness being stronger
in her tireless opening

choose to be kind,
no matter what
the trend of hairstyles

the height of ocean waves
bringing you in, water's
curve making caves

choose to be kind, whether
the sky predicts more rain
or a succession of dry days

what you at one time
thought was weakness
waxes, wanes, becomes

the strength of crazy glue
keeping mind and soul sealed
together, throughout
all kinds of weather
