let your voice
utter honest words
words of courage
words of valour,
open your mouth
to embrace sincerity,
kindness and compassion
because by doing this
you will be true to yourself.
I came across this poem by Australian poet Beatriz Copello, printed in One Heart-One Mind, The Newsletter of the Association of Engaged Buddhists. Like a precious stone, it shows all the facets of integrity that I began exploring in the last post, in shining simplicity. Thanks, Beatriz.
