The Tired Monk - a New Maxim

good at walking
slow meditations
forest path ponderings
star watching dreams

good at jokes
by the fire songs
poems -  stories -
photos flow

good at night duties
drinks,bottles
pitch black bed tucker
and coffee brewer

adept at these tired monk tasks

a new maxim emerges - a new endeavour
- a new focus and challenge:

forgiveness

  1. Old Ollie,
    There are times when all else in life seems so much easier, than the task and pain of forgiving.

    Excellent words for this prompt subject.

  3. Forgiveness. Can we love those who persecute us?

  4. Sometimes forgiveness can be too much, sometimes not. I think if someone has proved by their behavior, they do not want to do good for you. You must be careful! Thanks for your comment.
