6. Blind

I am blind to the world.

I am blind to the light.

I am blind to humankind,

With passion glowing abright.

There's a darkness alive

Resentful and stubborn,

Wanting the light more

Than it could let borne.

Shying away in anonymity

Shunning away, away from pity,

Travels through lone corners

And lanes turned gritty-

It stays blind and unseeing,

Rude, scared and mulishly unfeeling.

5. Blind

My world is perfect. There is no gap, no tear, no discontinuity. It is the most perfect thing that can be. My world is black.

4. Grateful

Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

May the joy be with you....
