Thought
World is but light and shade
Plus, and minus cosmos made
Male and female make a pair
Discord and harmony in the air
Hot and cold, praise and blame
Complete this dual cosmic game
Mind that’s steadied does not mind
The ups and downs of humankind
Mind veering left from poor insight
Gets steered kindly to the right
With joy let’s play adjustment game
So opposite pairs are all the same
One thing more is here to note
Childish traits - make them remote
In child’s playtime to game devote
And joyful image themes promote
Prayer
O Lord, forgive my childish ways, but I am but a child. I am your child. Convert my childish ways to childlike purity and love. You wipe my tears and fill me with your playful joy.
