Because of Our Wisdom

Mongolie © Lise Hebuterne

 In many parts of this world water is

Scarce and precious.

People sometimes have to walk

A great distance

Then carry heavy jugs upon their

Heads.

Because of our wisdom, we will travel

Far for love.

All movement is a sign of

Thirst.

Most speaking really says,

"I am hungry to know you."

Every desire of your body is

Holy.

Dear one,

Why wait until you are dying

To discover that divine

Truth?
