Not just Mind

You are cast, with others, in a world
of earth, sky, and forces - ever moving in time.

Challenges, problems, misfortune,
temptations, sorrow, and loss will all arrive.
You will grow, wither and die. This is your lot.

You are simply Body, Mind, and Breath.
Used singly, they are sharp.
When paired, they go deep.
Joined together, they find perfection.

Do not neglect one for the other.
Use them together to solve, to create, to move, to express,
to love, to serve, to work, to praise, to grow,
and to live, in this world.

When you despair, get stuck, are thwarted or confused,
ask yourself:
“Am I using my tools together?”

Not just Mind.
