"Circumstance does not make the man. Circumstance reveals man to himself."
--Emerson

#92 Midnight on the water
As I gaze up in the sky
I know that things are right
The handiwork of God
Is evident tonight.

The clouds are rolling gently
Across the harvest moon
I know that summer's ending
and frost is coming soon.

The Great Horned Owl flies quietly by
to see what he can find
A mouse creeps softly in the grass
And now the Owl will dine.

I hear the drake call to his mate
As he glides across the water
There's movement near the shoreline
I think it is an otter.

I row the little boat to shore
And walk across the sod
As I look upon his handiwork
I know there is a God.

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston
