Be Alive

                                Listen to your loneliness, frustrations, and comparisons.

                                If you so listen, something happens.

                                Give complete attention and things will come right.

                                Don’t settle down; keep your flame alive.

                                It has been altogether strange

                                And don’t get lost in trivialities;

                                Don’t yourself be downed; keep awake;

                                Be in a state of complete attention.
