Senryus 12



Respect

 

Respect is like gold

it’s prized highly because 

of its rarity.



Morality

 

Defy the temptress

with your moral character

or some witnesses?



Words

 

Words are precious gems.

Over-polished they become 

meaningless fragments.



Values

 

Many people can 

calculate prices, but who

can assess value?



Experience

 

Experience is

your power to know your mistakes

as you repeat them.



The Simple Life

 

Everyone wants a

simpler way of life, but few

will give up their phone.

 

The New Frontier

 

The final frontier

won’t be found lightyears away:

It's the minds of men.

    Each part of this piece speaks simply and powerfully of truth and wisdom. I especially love The New Frontier, for it really is in each of us. Thank you for sharing this gem.
