in my poverty;
the riches that I find
in knowing that I own nothing
I am dazzled
at the ugliness
in my mind;
seeing
the beauty in my soul
I am humbled
by the truth of my lies
when I understand
that to lie
one must first know truth
I am radiant
in the invisibility
of goodness
when I close my eyes
to all else
(to Rilke)

Life of emotion is sentimental, passionate and down to earth type;
They never keep within anything but say all to make themselves free!Life of intellect finds satisfaction in exploring truth of all mattersLike a sieve that separates the good from the wasteful things for useAnd that gives a sense of fulfilment in all their activities in life!Life of spirit lies in mystical satisfaction in harmony with…
