Too loose with the tongue-flap too tight with the reigns and magnified will be all worldly-bound pains. To give up all semblance of want and control and let the self grow wise without growing old is the highest peak to which one can dare climb while keeping humility first in the mind. The Great Magnet directs each flux and each wane and metes out all glory and every stain and he must abide by its energies who should seek with his lifespan much goodness to do. The evil within us must be understood but not let to dictate response speech or mood for it's not as strong as the bright shining light that clears out the bosom of anger and fright. These shells these our bodies will decay anon and yet the life-spirit will keep shining on when old and decrepit we sink to our graves as lords dressed resplendent or poor dirty knaves. Therefore give up searching and casting about and create deep within the sought-for redoubt of calm and of kindness of humility of love laughter happiness soothing and mercy. For life will keep handing out lemons and shards so best not to curse at the draw of the cards instead keep on glowing quite brimming with glee at all you can feel touch taste smell think and see.
