Life keeps coming just like waves on the ocean, they just keep coming. Some knock you down, but just keep getting back up and keep walking. After a while you will notice the waves appear to be getting smaller, the key is to keep getting back up; if you don’t, you will drown.
Anything is a subject for a poem, just look around you. You can write a poem when you are upset, when you are walking, anytime is a good time to write a poem. The ancients where quite serious that if you wished to know about life, cultivate the poet in yourself.
Realize that all things change, then there is nothing you will try to hold on to. You cannot control the future; you might as well relax into it and accept it no matter what it brings. There is an ancient tale that says whatever happens, you look at it without judgement and say, “some good, some bad”.
If a species in nature dominates others, the resulting imbalance destroys habitats for all. The same situation occurs when one person or group tries to use power over others. Learning to live a balanced life, while taking others into consideration, means walking a path of humility and integrity.
