From The "Time" Of My "Birth" ..
"Unbeknownst" To "Many" ..
I Have "Always" Struggled ..
With "Much" Uncertainty ..
Never "Satisfied" With "Plain" Explanations ..
Knowing The "Great" Depth of "All" Things ..
"Always" Wondering "Whether" I Know "Enough" ..
The "Shadow" of "Doubt" Ever Present ..
I Know ..
Two Things ..
"Extremely" Well ..
The First Is The "Certainty" of "Uncertainty" ..
Anytime ..
That I Am "Confident" ..
That I Have "Figured" Something "Out" ..
"Gods" ..
In Order To "Humble" Me ..
"Pull" The "Rug" From Under "Me" ..
The "Second" Thing ..
Which Is The "More" Beautiful "Thing" ..
Is To "Learn" ..
"How" To Live With "Uncertainty" ..
In This "Physical" Body ..
We Are "Much" Limited ..
As "Time" and "Space" Have "Control" Over "Us" ..
So "Does" The Limit of Our "Consciousness" ..
Our "Mind" ..
Though "Wonderful" ..
Is "Much" Limited ..
We "Have" To "Look" Through Our "Soul" ..
Let Our "Spirit" Come Forth ..
Have "No" Fear of The "Unknown" ..
But "Embrace" Every "Aspect" Of It ..
To "Deal" With "Unknown" ..
Is Like ..
"Swimming" ..
"In" A "Deep" Ocean ..
There "Could" Be "Much" Fear ..
Yet,
There "Could" Be "Much" Excitement ..
The "Key" To "Living" A "Good" Life ..
"Is" To "Embrace" All ..
The Good ..
The Bad ..
The Pretty ..
And Finally,
The Ugly ..
My "Brother" ..
There Will "Always" ..
"Be" Unknowns ..
The "Trick" ..
To "Live" A "Good" Life ..
"Is" ..
Not To "Confuse" ..
Not "Knowing" ..
With "Ignorance" ..
"Not" Knowing ..
Will "Bring" About "Bliss" ..
But "Ignorance" ..
"Does" Not ..

by mona19 (not verified) on Wed Jan 23, 2008 07:48 PM PSTYou're absolutly right.
we,all, need to manifest the greatest kindness and love toward all people.
I believe:"A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding…."
Have a great day,Jamshid
With loving greetings,

Mona: I missed your comment in here, but the second time around, it caught my eye. I have read your other posts too. You always preach kindness which is wonderful. Something we Iranians need more of.

Awesome!
by jamshid on Wed Jan 23, 2008 02:11 PM PSTI loved it! I believe life is about two things: Uncertainties, and the ability to cope with them! You described both very nicely.
I hope you are keeping a copy of all your poems somewhere. With the passage of time, you should publish them, as they are inspiring and thought provoking for people of any country and with any age.
One other thing: I think that your poems, because of its style, could be translated into Farsi effortlessly and very smoothly. Somehow, I think they would sound as well and have the same impact as in English!
Shae'r...you are welcome

To Live the Life....
by Mona 19 (not verified) on Wed Jan 23, 2008 12:58 PM PST"To be no cause of grief to anyone.
To be kind to all people and to love them with a pure spirit.
Should opposition or injury happen to us, to bear it, to be as kind as ever can be, and through all, to love the people.
Should calamity exist in the greatest degree, to rejoice, for these things are the gifts and favors of God.
To be silent concerning the faults of others, to pray for them, and to help them, through kindness, to correct their faults.
To look always at the good and not at the bad. If a man has ten good qualities and one bad one, look at the ten and forget the one. And if a man has ten bad qualities and one good one, to look at the one and forget the ten.
Never to allow ourselves to speak one unkind word about another, even though that other be our enemy.
To do all of our deeds in kindness.
To cut our hearts from ourselves and from the world.
To be humble.
To be servants of each other, and to know that we are less than anyone else.
To be as one soul in many bodies, for the more we love each other, the nearer we shall be to God; but to know that our love, our unity, our obedience must not be by confession, but of reality.
To act with cautiousness and wisdom.
To be truthful.
To be hospitable.
To be reverent.
To be the cause of healing for every sick one,
a comforter for every sorrowful one,
a pleasant water for every thirsty one.
a heavenly table for every hungry one,
a star to every horizon,
a light for every lamp,
There are many
