Hiraeth

http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~davis/Poetry/hiraeth.html

Hiraeth beckons with wordless call,
Hear, my soul, with heart enthrall'd.
Hiraeth whispers while earth I roam;
Here I wait the call "come home."

Like seagull cry, like sea borne wind,
That speak with words beyond my ken,
A longing deep with words unsaid,
Calls a wanderer home instead.

I heed your call, Hiraeth, I come
On westward path to hearth and home.
My path leads on to western shore,
My heart tells me there is yet more.

Within my ears the sea air sighs;
The sunset glow, it fills my eyes.
I stand at edge of sea and earth,
My bare feet washed in gentle surf.

Hiraeth's longing to call me on,
Here, on shore, in setting sun.
Hiraeth calls past sunset fire,
"Look beyond, come far higher!"

Daily Fix from Michael Lutin

If you pummel someone down,
and beat 'em up,
you'll get immediate satisfaction,
but end up
feeling worse than they do.
Love and compassion are always
the path to happiness.
It is also vital, however,
to understand that some people
are more like
severely wounded animals.
Some of those wounds
cannot be healed
in this incarnation,
so it's best to show compassion
and let those beings
continue on their path.
always remembering
when dealing with
wounded creatures
to keep your distance,
or else.

I've known this one for a while. I jokingly refer to it as "The Buddha's Left Hand Path of Compassionate Avoidance"
