Pity

A worthless feeling
Are those focused on demeaned?
Seek dignity’s path

A Zen Meditation

Claiming my own mind
Seeking the truest power
Releasing all else


This is the deepest truth for students of Zen. Yet is hard to live this, at times, at least. Hence the need for constant practice and discipline. Mastering resisting our temptation to steal our future from ourselves. 

Patience in Anger

Patience in anger,
This discipline of the mind
Saves one regret’s pain
