YAKIMA, WASH.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Approach with quiet this temple door,
And as you move across the shining floor
Take care, for stumbling, now, in awkward haste.
Will leave a mark which cannot be erased.
Move gently through the portals of the mind
If you would seek the garden gate.
You'll find
That he who ego rudely shouts and knocks
Can never enter: for he seals the locks.
But come into the garden with the grace
of Wisdom.
Here you
enter endless space,
Quiescent wonder, yours, to lift. to teach-
Here lies eternity within your reach!
