The Key to Blameless Life

No penance paid,
only the imbalance and resulting circumstances
that we must endure,
in order that natural balance is restored;
life has no predilections, no biases, no intentions,
just the upholding of balance,
a state that all existence must abide.
No blame is just as we are addressing process,
a truth of being,
not a foe of libellous intention,
but the natural process of cause and effect
of which we create
in our thoughts and actions:
all that appears in life manifest.
Thus the saying:
‘all you sew, shall you reap’
and this is a reflection of maintaining balance,
as we travail the learning of life’s path,
in wanted and unwanted consequences,
given by ’cause and effect’
and the due process of learning.
Complaining therefore,
about our circumstances, is purile,
a wasted reponse of negative energy,
the condition directed as a result of our own hand,
our own need to learn, to understand
we are in control, and accountable,
for every thought and action, dream and deed.
Each circumstance then,
is a key to understand how we arrived,
what thought created this result
and how in future we can avoid the negative
to foster the positive, to better our lives
and the understanding of them,
for our own sake and those associated with us.

Another great life lesson verse, Tony. I wish I had been able to read your life lessons when I was much younger – life might have been easier for me. Marvelous piece.
Thanks Phyllis, the problem with that is at a younger age we probably wouldn’t listen, or simply not see the truth. I guess we learn nothing until we are ready to hear the truth; that’s why wisdom nearly always comes with age. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
BTW. formatting is up to date, just waiting on the rest. I noticed that a few only have one or two poems. Don’t they want more in the book?
Yes, it is true wisdom nearly always comes with age.
Great – fine job you are doing. I encouraged, but they are happy with one or two. I think Tarun wanted to add more. I will post in the forum. 🙂
Thanks Phyllis, if any want to add a few poems, they can still send them to me and I’ll put them in. Cheers!
