THOUGHTS

Are Like Clouds

CLOUDS

Come And Go In Fascinating Ways!

CLOUDS

Are Sometimes Black and Run Wild!

CLOUDS

Are Sometimes Heavy Storms, Even Tornados.

CLOUDS

Often Rise To Lofty Heights

And Shine In Dazzling Brightness.

THOUGHTS

At Times Are Wonderful.

THOUGHTS

At Other Times Are Horrible And We Hide Them.

THE SKY

Embraces Any Kind of Cloud

And Let's Them All Play Freely.

THE SKY

Is Never Carried Away By The Clouds.

Don't Be Tossed About

By Thoughts of Enlightment Or Delusion.

JUST ONE STEP

Is To Settle In The Vast Openness Of The Sky.

JUST ONE STEP

Is Not To Be Puffed Up By Wonderful Clouds.

Not To Be Discouraged By Stormy Clouds.

JUST ONE STEP

Is When Our Body And Mind Are Completely Balanced.
