Diligence and Determination
By One Dafa Particle
Long trek up the mountain,
In a group, yet each alone.
Each finding their own path,
Each responsible, ultimately,
For the steps they take.
One cannot change the path
of the other:
Nonetheless, when another has fallen...
...where is benevolence to be found,
if not in a few kind words from the heart?
Diligence and determination, solidify to a diamond-like state
only when based solidly in the Fa, with a strong will,
putting noble thoughts into action.
Nonetheless, a few kind words
Can help another to once again
Raise their head out of the mud
and open the Book.
A Dream
By One Dafa Particle
Massive, high mountain.
Desolate, greys and browns.
No vegetation, no sunshine.
Looking down, to see the tops
of clouds far below.
Treacherous, sheets of ice
giant boulders, break free
and fall; constant danger.
Once here,
There is nowhere to go
But upwards.
