Nature, virtues, vitality.
These are the three aspects 
of our life
that have to be in sync
for our life to be
what it is capable of being.

Notice that our external circumstances
matter not one mote.

We are capable of living anywhere,
with anything
as those who are true 
to their original nature,
their innate virtues,
their essential vitality
just by the attention/intention
we give to those things
over time
no matter what.

Who are we?
What are we about?
Where is our joy to be found?
When are we going to start
serving those concerns
with all our heart, 
and mind,
and soul,
and strength,
every day,
in the time left for living?

A daily meditation 
on our original nature,
our intrinsic virtues,
and the things that generate
joy, radiance and vitality within 
is quite in order
all the time.
