When turmoil abounds
The world moves too quickly
Impatience intrudes
Fecklessness pervades.
Steadied by inner calm
A gaze is needed
To see the distant view
The larger frame.
To draw upon the mind’s reaches
Its strength of being
Its inner self
Its settled spirit.
To uncover
Deeper meanings
Less visible truths
Obvious falsehoods.
To nurture
The formation of soul
The foundation of wisdom
The construction of character.
