(paraphrase)
It's one of life's great paradoxes ...
Accepting with gratitude whatever life throws at us

and ready to play again.

your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.

Living Into the Great Paradox,
I strive toward my vision,
while accepting gratefully whatever life serves up.
I work to bring about my vision of the future,
which is based on my value system of what is right,
just, noble, compassionate, generous, humane, peaceful, and loving.
Simultaneously, I accept that my vision
is based on only my opinions and prejudices,
and I honor all points of view and value systems,
no matter how different from my own.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

there will be filial duty and love.
When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

Deep in my heart I'm concealing things
that I'm longing to say.

frightened you'll slip away.

to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
