quote: buddha

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

They cannot slow down.

They are in the middle of their youth.

 

I look into their fast eyes…

They do not see me.


They do not know wisdom, and 

The frequency of Elders is in a range they can not yet hear.


They do not ask the questions,

so they do not hear the answers.

 

They are angst and passion,

Goals and thought.


Always thinking.

Always moving.


I remember this.

I was once as they are now.

 

So the faster they go,

The slower I respond.

 

Slow down, I whisper.

This is not a race.

 

There are people here to help you.

There are people here to guide you.


Listen.


There are angels among you,

And you do not know who they are.


You will never know who they are.


Stop.

Breathe.

Relax.


Let the future come.

Be here now.


I will hold you in my wisdom,

I will rock you to your peace.


Listen and dream.

Sleep and let go.


You are safe.
