Where do you go 
for solace and consolation?

The company of flowers is always
a good place for me to be.

And the company of people 
who are like flowers
in that they lighten any room
and bring a presence of wellbeing
to life wherever they go.

There is a psychic sense of peace
and pleasure available to us
in a number of places.

Horses do it for a lot of us,
and dogs,
and cats.

I like water in practically 
any form,
and nature as a whole--
nature seems always 
to know what it is doing.

And the natural people
who are just themselves,
like the Buddha,
"As one thus come,"
just as they are
anywhere they are.

We all carry psychic presence 
with us,
and those of us who are 
most comfortable with ourselves
will naturally be most comfortable
for other people to be around.

Who provides solace and consolation
for you?
Who would say you provide it for them?
Ask around.
You may be surprised to discover
how comforting you are.
