Song of equanimity
By Daniel Christopher June
Patience is a sin
There’s nothing to be patient over
Forgiveness is a sin
There’s nothing to forgive
Accept what is
Then you will see how to improve it
Are you a victim?
Well are you victimizable?
Are you insulted?
Well are you insultable?
As above, so below
As within, so without.
Do not struggle for the good
Goodness comes naturally
Do not strive for perfection
Perfection is Easy
A little wit is endearing
A little too much speaks bitterness
A just reproach befriends
Moral condemnation uglifies others
Find an honest way to be grateful in every matter
Every matter will become beautiful
Bring out the best in others
See others in terms of their best.
Perfect subtlety is the strongest power
Gentleness from dangerous strength has grace.
If you keep your mind open
You will have room to create.
If you keep your heart guarded
You’ll filter out the unworthy.
To your lover be tender true
To your family be fully present
To your friends challenge and encourage
To your enemies be just and firm
To your work be competent and thorough
To your art be passionate and genuine
Let your words be simple, direct, and few
Let your home be humble, warm, and ordered
Always make time to be alone with your thoughts
Imitate others and you lose what’s best
Be yourself and you will gain more self.

Perfection is Easy
Time is now
Apotheosis welcomes
Eternity Bows
