Conduct: Metta Cultivation

After reflecting upon
Cultivating positive states,
Taking a step
By nurturing metta.

Satisfaction overflowed,
Ease unfolded,
Keeping it going
Afloat in peace,

Flowing through
Like water through
A green tea bag,
Picking up that gentle taste,

Making no haste
Slipping past
And absorbing the flavour,
A delicate savour.

Glowing with contentment,
Abiding in happiness,
Enjoyment without grasping,
Gratification without clinging;

What a welcome respite
From life’s difficult fight;
No struggle tonight,
No miserable up tight,

No reason for flight,
Nor frozen fright;
Inhaling the aroma
Of the verdant liquid,

Watching the swirling foam
And sipping in the warm fluid;
Delighting in pure moments
Of suspension of the tensions.
