When you look at puddles, at
The swampy areas of life,
Do you only see a dank, dark nasty bit of water
Where there might be snakes or other dastardly demons?
Or, (as you should,) do you see a pool filled with
Life and beauty!
A place where things are just
As Nature intended them to be?
~
Do you see
The reflections of the skies and clouds?
Or,
Do you cringe at the thought of getting a
Foot wet?
Fearful that you might ‘catch’
Something?
~
You know, if you sit and
Watch a pool of water in the wild,
You can learn a lot.
Patience, for one, you can learn to be still.
If you are quiet and still,
you may get to see some very
Miraculous, Natural and Enlightening
Occurrences
That should fill
You with wonder.
Life
Is wonderful; let it
Teach you.
Learn From It.
Learn To Be Still.
