Two Gathas

"Turning on the computer,
my mind gets in touch with the store.
I vow to transform habit energies
to help love and understanding grow."

"Words can travel thousands of miles.
May my words create mutual understanding and love.
May they be as beautiful as gems,
as lovely as flowers."

Thich Nhat Hanh


(wikipedia: Gatha is a type of metered and often rhythmic poetic verse or a phrase in the ancient Indian languages of Prakrit and Sanskrit.[1] The word is originally derived from the Sanskrit/Prakrit root gai , which means, to speak, sing, recite or extol. [2] Hence gatha can mean either speech, verse or a song.)
