My symphony
To live content with small means,
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
To seek corrections rather than praises ,
To seek direction rather than being the lead always,
To seek perfection rather than imperfection ,
and refinement rather than fashion,
To listen to stars and birds and babes and sages with an open heart,
To listen to brokenness and voidness and sages with an open heart,
To study hard, think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions,
To laugh sincerely, to chew your pride passionately, whisper quietly , await occasions ,
To stand firmly, to politely ask for strength from above, whisper quitely in spirit, await occasions,
To see clearly, to transparently check in the future, , to reciprocate patience , await occasions,
To love unconditionally, to compassionately digest hatred , whisper perfectly, await occasions,
In a word, to let the spiritual, the unbidden and the unconscious rise up through the common ,
To appreciate kindness and live up to it
To vow not to refrain from embracing one self
To live to tell the tale of writer's inborn ability,as clear as an inborn smile ,
This is my symphony.
