"...Let life live through you." (365/18 Jan. 18, 2014)
"Hokusai says... look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing…
He says look forward to getting old.
He says keep changing
You just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat
Yourself as long as it’s interesting.
He says keep doing what you love.
He says keep praying.
He says every one of us is a child,
every one of us is ancient,
every one of us has a body,
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find
A way to live with Fear.
He says everything is alive-
Shells, buildings, people, fish
Mountains, trees. Wood is alive.
Water is alive.
Everything has its own life.
Everything lives inside us.
He says live with the world inside you….
It matters that you care.
It matters that you feel.
It matters that you notice.
It matters that life lives through you…
Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you
Satisfaction and strength
Is life living through you.
Peace is life living through you.
He says don’t be afraid.
Don’t be afraid.
Look, feel, let life take you by the hand.
Let life live through you."
- Roger Keyes' poem, "Hokusai Says," at the end of this meditation -
