Deborah Smith

It is the law of nature that what goes up must come down,

and so people gradually train their sights

away from worldly success and on happiness

in learning, volunteer work, friendships, and spiritual practice.

We don’t become wise by thinking more.

When our mind becomes relaxed and open,

we suddenly have a brilliant new idea.

Trust the wisdom that exists in silence,

and rest your hardworking mind for a
while.
