the heart has nothing to give...

if you come to the well of wisdom
in order to find a secret joy to own
or a bit of a jewel to carry back home with you
you will be very disappointed
for what you will find in truth
is nothing like this in the least
the truth has not a thing to give you
as it rests eternally as it is
and cannot be added to or taken away
how can you take something from
the inherent beauty of your own soul?




the heart has nothing to give you
it carries no-thing of a burden
it has not your name on it
nor your story
but, here friend this heart *is*
so let it *be* and come to it
without taking
but surrender to this grace...
