Then; |
And now. |
|---|---|
| So sure of myself, sure of my beliefs; | Sure of nothing. |
| Dismissive of ritual and tradition; | Cherishing ritual and tradition for the effects they have. |
| Reliant on study, analysis, and reason; | Reliant on something mysterious, something that wells up from down deep. |
| Reading Dharma teachings rife with contradictions and confusion; | Reading Dharma teachings nurturing and reassuring. |
| So many questions, so eager to ask; | No questions… no answers… |
| Infatuated with my path, exceptionalism reigns; | Happy with my path. Happy for anyone’s path. |
| Feelings of resentment swept me away; | Now they tug at me more gently. |
| So curious; | So grateful. |
| Unacknowledged struggles each and every day; | Aware of struggles each and every day. |
