No matter how the world evolves,

Whether true to life

Or spiralling in madness,

The life principle

Remains pure and untouched.

–

Invest your life

In its sweetness

And disregard the rest,

However seductive and convincing,

For only in love

–

Is sweetness manifest.

And if the world descends

Wholly into madness,

Still, life’s truth

Holds fast.

–

And if all obey the call to anger,

But your mind left last

And abiding in love,

It will not matter

And will surely be enough.
