What is given
Accept only what is given –
I think I’ve learned that much;
rather than what is coveted
though what is coveted will be given
another day in one form or another.
This is the great circle which binds us
to the center and indicates
only slightly a pathway of escape.
Virtue might become in time a matter
of etiquette, tact, reciprocity, gratitude.
Accept only what is given in the natural flow
of a humble, illumined, obedient life.
O child of God, that which is heaven-sent
leads to lasting blessings and unfathomable peace.
