RICHES: Another Look at the Notion of Wealth

	in the silence of a forest
	or crash of a surf
	in the crackling of a fire
	or wild cat's purr
	find new inspirations

	rich are those
	who touch
	the core of ancient cedars
	or hairs of bamboos in spring

	fortunate are those
	who watch
	the dance of glowing charcoals
	or shimmering whiteness of lofty peaks

	this world was created
	with so much wealth –
	let's share it wisely
	& protect its health


Gwen:    I dislike how this author writes bout 'riches'. Many folks on dis planet argh starvin'!

Noel:   No doubt. I don't think he says "ignore suffering". Instead, when joy comes we 
        should appreciate it. Isn’t our experience of joy all too brief?
