Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dear Tim, I have revised Roundel 6 to avoid the ambiguity with the mental play, 1.e. games of skill that are beneficient to foster intellectual discrimination, essential on the quest. Regards, Alan ROUNDEL 6 SILENCE To still your mental dreams, is real service to the Sage; Be ego free, follow the heart filled virtuous stream. Wisdom is, dear ardent child of this restless age, To still your mental dreams. A peaceful disposition welcomes all auspicious gleams; It's foolish to react with over elation or with rage; See each stage of life as God's predestined scheme. If you need to toil to earn a decent living wage, Stay unattached, enjoy this teaching's truth. I mean Be quiet! calm the breath, take hold and then engage To still your mental dreams.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi Alan, I like the poem both ways :-). I meant something else in regard to 'word games', but it's unimportant - please don't take what I say too seriously ;-). The words themselves here don't mean much to me, it's the fact of communication - life is expressing here. We're expressing love for each other simply in communicating. Actual content of the words? Nothing compared to that...
