(my) Inspiration...

I was going through a document I have where I paste my favorite poems and quotes, and I ran across this poem by Rev Heng Sure

Being brittle and hard is easy;
It takes courage to be kind.
Being stingy and selfish comes naturally to the weak;
It takes strength to be compassionate.
Holding on to the self is not wisdom;
It takes faith to let go.
Doubts and fear are greed for benefit;
It takes giving to be happy.

--Rev. Heng Sure

It reminded me of how much inspiration I find in his words and peace in his presence.
